Finding Casey is so many things: a love letter to the American Southwest, an unstoppable read, a redemptive tale that proves the threads binding a family are unbreakable, no matter how far apart we are flung by fate. This is why Jo-Ann Mapson is one of my favorite authors - quite simply, she's an archivist of the human heart * Jodi Picoult *
Finding Casey is a beautiful, rugged journey into the depths of the heart * Robyn Carr, #1 best-selling author of the Virgin River novels *
No one tunnels as effortlessly into the mysteries of human heart the way that Mapson does. A haunting novel about the way the past travels right along with the present, and how hope can soar when you least expect it * Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You *
The characters in Jo-Ann Mapson's novels feel hauntingly real - even the ghosts who groan through the pipes now and then. I read Finding Casey in two sittings, and I barely noticed anything else in the world while spending time in this writer's wonderfully capable hands * Mark Childress, author of Georgia Bottoms and Crazy in Alabama *
This sequel to bestseller Solomons Oak contains passages of great beauty and psychological insight and, in the sections concerning Laurel, genuine suspense * Daily Mail *
SOLOMON'S OAK * Winner of the American Library Association's 2011 RUSA Award for Women's Fiction and an October 2010 Indiebound Pick *
Mapson [shows us] the world as we hope it is--a world in which flawed people can be basically healthy, and even pain has a richness to it...One of the most gifted writers of the contemporary [American] West. * Los Angeles Times *
Mapson creates characters so real you could recognize them coming down the road. * Chicago Tribune *
Dazzlingly written, indelibly moving, and deeply profound, Solomon's Oak is filled with grace, heart, and wisdom, and a rich cast of real characters...Truly a gem. * Caroline Leavitt *
