“Yael Politis has become one of my favourite authors. She first hooked me with her amazing story of struggle, hope and tragedy in the Middle East during the Palestinian Mandate – ‘The Lonely Tree’. For this new series, she has returned to her Michigan roots and turned out a wonderfully atmospheric ongoing story of a remarkable woman, battling prejudice, bigotry, fear and discrimination in 19th century America. I eagerly await Book Three. If you haven’t read Yael Politis yet, you’re in for a treat. If you have, you’ll know exactly what I mean.”
Catherine Cavendish, Author

“I fell in love with the character of Olivia. She is someone to admire. Enjoyed her story and the story of Mourning Free and the picture of a young and growing city of Detroit. The other characters also felt very alive and real to me in all their diversities and quirks. My take home message: don’t judge people harshly and try to make the world a better place one kindness, one courageous act at a time. Thank you to the author.”
