Reviews
- "The story closes on a scene of love and harmony made more complicated, but not diminished, by past sorrows. This gentle book cannot fail to touch readers." - Martha Saxton, The New York Times
- "MacLachlan keeps the uncertainty alive while building Sarah's value to the family. This creates a tension that hinges on Sarah’s character, not on some superficial crisis of action. The climax of the story is brilliantly withheld until the last, four words of the story." - Valued Minds Review
