Praise for little joe

 A beautiful story about perseverance, heartbreak, love, and peace. 10/10 recommend to anyone!

 From the moment I began to read this book, I felt as if I'd dived into a deep, clear lake; I completely lost myself and forgot that I was reading.

The characters are original and very real, and the story of the Smast family, which flashes from present to past and back again as the characters seek closure and redemption, is heartbreakingly moving.

 Such a wonderful story about family, love, and coming to terms with one's past and present. Beautifully written!

 The story of the Smast family was a heart-wrenching one but I had to keep reading to know that Little Joe turned okay.

 The story of the Smast family was a heart-wrenching one but I had to keep reading to know that Little Joe turned okay.

This isn’t my usual type of book but I’m so happy I tried it. I even teared up a few times because wow, Joe and his siblings went through a lot.

But despite all they went through these siblings persevered and made it through life without each other. And they did have very rocky beginnings but the thought of seeing each other one day kept them going somehow.

What Joe went through, especially at a young age would certainly be enough to break anyone, his mental health and journey towards healing were so touching.

Although at some point, I was scared for him, he pulled through and started fighting for himself and the people he loved.

“ It’s not about forgetting or hiding who you were - it’s about growing from your experiences”

I enjoyed this book and It had me feeling so much my heart was bleeding for the Smast family, but I’m happy they finally found peace together

Praise for The Faces of the Wood

 I love how detailed the map is. The world-building is excellent. 👏 The main character is likable. The writing and flow of this story is fabulous. Kept my attention the whole time. A revitalizing force for the fantasy genre. I'm pumped to see what comes next from this author.
A big thank you to Stephanie Kast for sending me an eARC.
