"An extremely fascinating look at the culture and environs of the Smokey Mountains which I loved reading about since I visited there. A romantic story full of yearning, war, separation, passion. I enjoyed this book and recommend it as a good read."

"An excellent book set in the time of Vermeer from the viewpoint of a modern art professor. The book begins with a discussion between the professor and a student about the painting in his home. It goes on to explain how the painting came into being. Fascinating. . ."

"An interesting look at the life of a hermaphrodite. Issues which I never thought of come up as you read. The hero/heroine ultimately changes genders and adjusts to life away from his/her family and friends before he is reconciled to the adult world as a man. The topic was handled with grace and insight by the author."

"The voice of Dinah, the daughter of the biblical Jacob with the 12 sons. Very interesting look into the "red tent" where the women congregated once a month and when tending their infants. It is full of the history of how the women lived in biblical times."
