The prose is closer to poetry than some that claim to be poetry. And the poetry is sheer music. I found myself highlighting sections so I could re-read them later. And then I did re-read them with the same joy as the first time. If that had been all, if the story hadn't been so well told, if I hadn't become friend with Tucker & his neighbors & his sleepy little town, it would have been enough. But it was. And I did. And I feel richer because of it." - Amazon Review "This book is a must read for anyone who has lost a loved one. Especially a child. Tucker's journey to find peace is inspiring." - Amazon Review "I just finished this book this morning in tears. It is heart-breakingly beautiful.

I loved how the author drew me into his world and walked me along with memories bring me to a place I could only sit and contemplate...If this is what we can come to expect from this author, i tip my hat and look forward to more from him." - Amazon Review "A great book about Motherhood and loss and death. Great insight into grief of a Mother when her child dies. Very timely in my life as have been following a woman online whose daughter just died." - Amazon Review "An excellent, at times heart-wrenching, read that will keep the pages flying by, only to be almost disturbingly surprised at the shocking resolution to a 20-year-old mystery." - Amazon Review Where The Broken Lie will be available in November 2014!
