Review from Kelly Jensen of SF Crowsnest: "This little novel reads like a collection of anecdotes chronicling a year in the life of Alicia. Using a number of literary styles, first time novelist Heather Parker succeeds in giving the book the feel of an old journal. It's a glimpse of someone else's life, rich in detail and full of adventure. From the very first page I was hooked and didn't stop reading until I was done." Read the whole review at the link above.
Review from The Long and the Short of It : "This is a well-written, character driven book, and each adventure endears Alicia to us more." (Holly gave Middlewitch 4.5 out of 5 stars). Click link to whole review.
Review from Coffee Time Romances : "Ms Parker has taken a sleepy village and made it magical and exciting." Click link to whole review.
