The View from Half Dome has launched!
I’m delighted that The View from Half Dome received these thoughtful, excellent reviews from well-known publications:
San Francisco Book Review (4 out of 5 stars): “ The descriptions were beautiful, and Isabel was an intriguingly imperfect character. I enjoyed the sense of peace the book gave both the characters and me. I would recommend this book to teenagers, especially those lucky enough to live near a national park. The View from Half Domemay well open their eyes to wonders just a little way from their door.” Read more here
Foreword Reviews (Editor’s Pick for May/June): “Working toward a practical resolution, the historical novel The View from Half Domefollows a determined teenager as she pursues the incremental fulfillment of her dreams.” Read more here
Kirkus Reviews Magazine, April 2023 (includes this review of The View from Half Dome): “The breezy, conversational prose is engaging, capturing the despair of the Depression and the frustration of women struggling for equality. Isabel is a sturdy, compelling protagonist, but it’s quirky Enid who will linger in readers’ minds. A gentle, poignant tale with nicely developed real and fictional characters.”
