As someone who is not Christian (hi, barely religious Jew here), I can honestly say I never saw myself reading a Christian fiction novel. I want to lead with this because it’s important to note that many of the religious aspects went over my head or didn’t resonate with me; and yet, I was still lost in Dansereau’s story. Her ability to transport you to the middle of the golden Nevada desert and make you fall in love with its simple towns is impressive. Even more impressive is how she writes her characters. I loved watching Claude and Kitty grow up alongside each other, witnessing all of their adventures and challenges firsthand. It was evident how much research and thought went into this debut novel, and although one of the core themes wasn’t for me, the writing absolutely was. Thank you for my advanced reader copy, Erica!
