Advance Praise
"This is a powerful story, full of conflict and emotion. The characters gripped my heart from the beginning and never let go. It's definitely a keeper, one I'll want to read again."- Barbara Warren, Goodreads*****
"It's a fabulous read, a story so full of drama and emotion, made me cry, and the characters felt like people I knew. I'd intended reading part way and then back to a lighter read... however I was so engrossed, so caught up in Catherine's world that I couldn't leave it until I knew how things were going to work out...It's a book I felt really sad to leave but was happy at the ending...a wonderfully realistic, emotional, drama filled story." Jeannie Zelos, Goodreads*****
"I have just spent the last two nights reading this book. I could not put it down, I had to keep turning the page to see what was going to happen next. The book is a real tear jerker. The author has made her characters very believable and personalized each one with both subtle and overt words and/or deeds that make them seem like someone that you may know. - Diana, Goodreads *****
"If you were granted only one book to read, I highly recommend Susan Clayton-Goldner’s novel, A Bend in the Willow. Not only is the author an accomplished writer, with several awards to her name, this story will pull you in and play your heart strings with an unerring sense of your own humanity...." - Sandra King - Goodreads *****
