Editorial Review

"One cannot help but observe this more mature Taylor and reflect on who she was two books ago and marvel at how she has grown. This novel rounds out Taylor's development perfectly, and the reader is hopeful for her future... 4/4 stars,Highly Recommended."
--CM Magazine

"Taylor Jane is a fictional character to whom her author has given a distinct and dynamic personality. It will be hard for Brenna not to give us another installment of what could easily become a saga."
--Star Phoenix

"Set in an attractive area of France, this novel gives valuable insights into the mindset of individuals with Asperger's syndrome."
--Winnipeg Free Press
