What Readers Are Saying

Quiet Refuge is action packed with a dramatic twist in almost every chapter. Even with two teenage girls as the main characters, this book will capture the attention of adults. A tornado, kidnappings, a jail break and the violence that marked the civil rights struggle in 1960’s Alabama all come together in this novel.” – Amazon Customer ★★★★★

I loved this story. The cast of characters is believable and the action is nonstop. The protagonist is brave and true and the occasional unseen twist compels the reader to turn the page. The book has a satisfying conclusion and yet I was left wanting more. I can’t wait for the sequel.” – Solivita Senior, Amazon reviewer ★★★★★

Loved it… a lot of twists and turns.” – Karen Lea Schroepfer
