"I just loved this book! At first the authors style of writing threw me as it is told in short chapters with the character's name at the top so that you knew which point of view was being told. But it was really fascinating as you continued to read and the plot unwove itself one strand at a time. Its a small time town with a sad story that comes to light slowly as you hear it from each character's perspective. This was a book where I truly did not see it coming until I read it- the author got me twice with 2 curve balls- loved it. It was a little slow to get into at first , but I really believe that if you hang in there and see it to completion you will be surprised at the complexity and beauty of the story."

    " I would give this book more stars if they were available. An intricately woven plot! "Ruthie" one of the characters shared wisdom that requires extra pondering. "

    " This was a page turner. It was very hard to put down. I loved the way the author developed the story in this book. Can't wait to read this authors next book. Reminds me of Charles Martin's style of writing. "

    " So there were a few minutes that I felt like the author packed too much of a message in some of the dialogue, BUT I still loved it . . . the twists and turns, the sacrifice, the love, the suspense. It was good. "

    " If you like books that have a MAJOR twist at the end, this is a book you have GOT to read! Dogwood ends and leaves you paging through the book again and re-reading parts. A must read. "

    " I generally would not even finish a book that would earn such a low rating, but this one is such a quick read I decided to get through it. The story idea is fine, and there are some interesting twists to the plot, but it actually reads like an outline of the novel the author is planning to write. "
