I haven't convinced him to leave a review just yet, but this is what a reader sent me the other day about
Jefferson's Road: The Spirit of Resistance:
"I gotta say, you've "snared" me. I think you've done a great job not just telling a compelling story that is well-written, but I think the hook is the character development. (Maybe it's all that together?) A good book helps you feel connected to the characters in some way, (especially?) on an emotional level, too. I think you've done that! (I can't just read one chapter ... I want to know what happens next! And I think that's not just the story, I do think you've done a good job helping me care.)
So... good work!"
