Professional Book Reviews
Autumn by Marc MacDonald (Kirkus Reviews)
“A lovelorn man’s life takes an unexpected turn when he becomes a caregiver for a crass nonagenarian in MacDonald’s novel. A cozy, if somewhat familiar, tale of love and grief that will nonetheless leave readers satisfied.”
You Can’t Live in the Ceilings by Mary Cleaver (Foreword Reviews)
“The informative real estate guide You Can’t Live in the Ceilings explains home buying and selling processes with acumen. The book’s nuanced observations, clear figures, and careful analyses help to shed light on industry-specific principles.”
Son From Ukraine by Sandra Upeslacis (Kirkus Reviews)
“In this memoir, two Canadians travel to Ukraine in the year 2000 to adopt a son. An often entertaining and endearing look at an international adoption process. The emotional depth and compelling situation will keep readers engaged.”
Earth Wisdom by Jan Hornford (Foreword Reviews)
“About nurturing one’s inner connection to nature, Earth Wisdom is a soothing self-help guide. The prose is soothing and approachable, filled with nonjudgmental advice for beginners and expanded reflections for those already versed in its practices.”
