This novel is my first experience with reading Mary DeMuth's work. I must say it won't be my last. Ms. DeMuth has a talent in creating believable characters that could walk right off the pages and join the reality of your own life. I connected with Willa on levels that brought me to tears. When an author can take me to places within myself then I know I have discovered a truly talented author.
The Muir House is a wonderful Christian novel and I would highly recommend it to any adult reader. On a 5 star scale I give it 5 stars.
I would like to thank Zondervan for my free review copy. I was not required to give a positive review, only an honest review.

I don't think I do anything really unique to my area in the summer but since I work at a school and am home in the summer, I do a lot more reading. I've read a couple of reviews of Muir House; it sounds like a book I'd enjoy.

Sounds very interesting. Thanks for the review and giveaway. Visiting the Florida Caverns might be unique to my area except I haven't visited them yet. :-) I can't think of anything else that is unique... Even vacationing would normally be RV camping near the beach - nice but not unique.

ReplyDeleteI live in Arizona and visiting Sedona and the Grand Canyon is a excellent spot to go for vacation. We have been there a few times and getting ready to go back next month for a few days.
Blessings,
Jo

ReplyDeleteI live in Tennesee, and close to my town there is a place on the river called The Blue Hole. It is a natural pool created when the river is at a low level. It is so beautiful, and many times when I have been there, I've met people from other states because they somehow heard about it. Pretty cool :)

ReplyDeleteThe only thing I can think of that is unique to my area (Kentucky) takes place more in the spring than in the summer, and that is the Kentucky Derby and the Derby Festival which takes place on the 1st Saturday in May. The festival takes place during the 3 weeks or so leading up to the Derby.
