⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Alanna Rusnak is a wordsmith. She is both mistress and master of her craft.—Geraldine
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A hauntingly beautiful tale… A lesson of alienation and belonging and finding of self. Well-written with exquisite exposition.—William
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book is beautifully written, and fosters empathy in the reader. You are drawn into the messy lives of the characters and fall in love with them, despite (or maybe because of) how deeply flawed they are. Make sure you order the companion novella by Alanna Rusnak, "The Ghost of Iris Carver" as well. —Heidi
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It’s an invaluable eyeopener that was so wonderfully communicated by the hand of Ms Rusnak.—Liv
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So much more than a cautionary morality tale; indeed it doesn't warn us away from the perils of the wildwood, but instead beckons us closer.—Zev
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ hauntingly imagined and gorgeously told. It immediately surrounded me with a mood that lingered almost heavily, while the intriguing and layered plot made it an absolute page-turner!—Tsara
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I'll admit that I couldn't put this book down, every new page revealed another train wreck waiting to happen, sometimes predictable, however I didn't think the predictability spoiled the story. I would recommend it. Happy reading!—Janet
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was sucked right in The story made me anxious, sad, happy ect... I can't thank the author enough for being brave and sharing this story to the World.—Larry
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is such a beautiful story of hope. Iris's story is heartbreaking and she makes some terrible mistakes but you can't help but love her. Beautifully written.—Kristina
