Below are some quotes from Reviews of the book.

Comments from Reviews of 'Back to the Homeplace':

" ... is a beautiful story of family. I love family sagas and stories about family secrets. Hence this book was a perfect read for me... I could easily identify with the characters. If you've ever had a big family, you would totally relate to them. Every character was so real. Their emotions, their problems were very realistically presented. Each character was so well-defined that I felt like I knew them."

Misha Mathew, "My Love Affair With Books" blog


"This family tree has some branches that do not always seem to come from the same roots. When the limbs are shaken, some surprises fall out. But despite themselves, most members persevere, grow on their new home sites, or return to their former lives to reassess themselves or make peace."

Jack L. Kennedy, Joplin Independent


"This very intimate story of one family, and how they manage to stick together through the thick and thin of every day life, is one story you won't want to miss! ...

Cyndi Beane Henry "Texicanwife" - from review on Amazon.com


"The characters seem very down to earth and real, with problems that we all face, I found it interesting that a few were addicted to Diet Coke, and would make trips to Walmart to purchase it, for me it doesn't get any more real than that! The descriptions of the birds, landscape and the Homestead in general were so vivid that it is easy to visualize it, and at one point when the author describes a vee of Canadian Geese flying overhead, I could just imagine hearing them honk."

Brenda Casto - from review on Amazon.com

Flora and Fauna Friday - Cardinal

Flora and Fauna Friday

Cardinal

The Cardinal is commonly found in the Ozarks, typically associated with open woodland areas. The sexes of Cardinals usually have distinctive appearances: the family is named for the red plumage of males.

Cardinals are robust, seed-eating birds with strong bills. There is a broad list of Cardinal species.
