“This book has Kim Sawyer's signature depth of characterization. As the reader, I quickly fell in love with Anna and her struggles. The characters were rich and diverse…I also love the way Kim makes the setting come alive. She pulls together unknown pieces of Kansas history that add richness and depth to the plot. I also enjoyed the fact that this book was set during the Depression. This has been a time period that has been overlooked by many historical authors, yet Kim makes it come to life in a manner that kept me engaged from page one.”

“A poignant story of a woman left to hold house and home together; I was absorbed from the opening scenes. The trials and tribulations of this small family are emotional and realistically portrayed by the author. I was hard-pressed to keep a dry eye while reading Anna's story. Well researched, the sense of time and place was vividly rendered and allows the reader to taste the despair suffered by Anna. Where Willows Grow is a fine example of our heartland during the Depression and drought.”
