"The Heretic's Daughter is raw, honest and completely captivating..." (Anita Shreve )"An illuminating literary debut." (Booklist (starred review) Michele Leber )Highly recommended. (Library Journal (starred review) Barbara Hoffert )"A powerful coming-of-age tale in which tragedy is trumped by an unsinkable faith in human nature."

(Dallas Morning News Joy Tipping )"An authentically moving story that is as much about a mother and a daughter as the terror of the times."
