What people are saying about Sharlene MacLaren and her books…

(from readers’ emails and letters)

Thanks for allowing God to use your writing talents.  You never know how He is going to orchestrate the tiniest detail in one of your stories to impact your readers. I look forward to reading all of your upcoming books.

—Beth from Maine

 

I love all your stories and the beautifully woven scenes and interesting characters. My life is fraught with health issues, so I love living through the eyes of healthy women of noble character. Thank you for your gift.                

—Jo from Michigan

 

I normally didn’t read anything but the Bible until I discovered your books. I like to read fiction that doesn’t stray from biblical principles, and, I must say, your books don’t disappoint. They are exciting reads; I can’t get my nose out of  them!

—Susan from Ohio                                                                                                               

 

I love all of your books. I am currently reading Maggie Rose and anxiously awaiting Abbie Ann. You have a talent that keeps readers wanting more and more. Don’t stop!                                                         

—Lynne from Texas

 

I found your book in a Wal-Mart store, and the cover just pulled me right in. Since reading it, I have ordered all your other books. You sure do spin a good story.                                                                             

 —Lisa from Idaho

 

My thoughts about Christian fiction have always been that it’s “not very good.” And then I discovered your books! Now, with one of your books under my nose, I am oblivious to everything around me. I just wanted to say thank you for being faithful in your calling. I enjoy all the Scripture references. You keep writing—and I’ll keep reading!

—April from Tennessee

 

I have just finished reading Maggie Rose, and I think it is my favorite of all your books. I had never heard the story of the orphans and the orphan trains of long ago. I couldn’t read it fast enough—but then I didn’t want it to end.

—Gertie from Florida

 

I just finished reading Maggie Rose, and it was terrific. Now I just can’t wait for Abbie Ann’s release. Hurry!

—Susan from California

 

I just finished reading Maggie Rose, and I loved it. The only problem I have with all your books is putting them down and getting to bed before midnight!                                                                                     

 —Linda from Iowa

 

I first bought your Little Hickman Creek series on a whim because I thought the covers looked beautiful and the stories enjoyable. Well, since then, I’ve ordered every one of your books, passed them along to my family and friends (so I get my money’s worth), and await your future releases. Please write faster!                                               

—Dana from Michigan

 

You cannot finish your next book soon enough for me! I can’t wait for it to arrive here! I had a chance to read the first chapter from that link on Amazon, and now I’m hooked!                                

—Mandy from Johannesburg, South Africa

 

I just finished reading the Little Hickman Creek series, and now it’s on to The Daughters of Jacob Kane. Thank you for writing stories that uplift, encourage, entertain, and bless!

—Sheila from Iowa                                                   

 

I had to e-mail you to tell you how much I enjoyed Long Journey Home. This was such an inspirational story. I plan to order all your other books now. Just so you know, you have moved into my top three favorite authors!

—Carol from New Jersey

 

I just finished reading Hannah Grace and was so thrilled by the story line, especially since it was set in a Dutch town and I recognized a lot of the names as coming from my own Dutch heritage: Dykstra, DeBoer, Jellema, and Mulder, to name a few. I hope and pray you continue to write, as your books bring many hours of pleasure to our family.

—Carol from Indiana
