Critic reviews

"Wingate's empathic writing style is beautifully suited to this contemporary romance in which the simple life is portrayed as heroic and romantic." ( Booklist)

Standing True, and Standing Through the Fall-Out of Moments

Why is it that our most profound moments of clarity most often come in the lowest points of our lives. And if we are so-transformed as to finally find our True Home’s path, should we not then run: arms-stretched-wide toward becoming’s shadowed womb?

Enjoyable Listen

Light, funny and a delightful story! Great performance and characters! Looking forward to the next story in the series!

Very Pleasant listen

This book was very pleasant and a very good story. Not a waste of your time. It makes you think about what is important in your day to day living. The Narrator was very good. She has a smooth mellow voice that made the listen that much more pleasant.
I bought the book for a 4.95 special and it was definitely worth it. Not sure if I would have used a credit but it was a good story.
