One for Your Library
I read this book a few years ago, but I recently ordered a few copies when Amazon was having a sale. I realized I'd given mine to somebody at church and that I really needed a copy for my library because it's worth reading twice - or more. I love DeMuth's lyrical style and how beautifully she...

A wishful book
The whole time I was reading this book I kept wondering if this was intended for adults or children? The subject matter certainly did not seem appropriate for children but I found the book "childish". The characters are portrayed as either evil or good without exception and Mara is not a...

Every Educator, Parent and Neighbor should read
This novel so accurately described a child's thought patterns when forced to deal with a situation beyond her wisdom and age. I suggest that every parent, educator and neighbor read it to learn to be aware and protect the innocence of those who are most vulnerable. It is both a tragic and...

A must read
It's been a while since I sat down to read a book that I could not put down. Watching the Tree Limbs is exactly that type of book. Author Mary DeMuth hooked me from the moment the book opens with "Folks like my friend Camilla have lofty goals before they die, like stealing a kiss from a movie...

Compelling story with strong Christian worldview
I became acquainted with Mary DeMuth at a writer's conference and picked up her books to read as a result. I found Mary's first published novel to be a compelling, honest, gut-wrenching account of an orphan's search for answers about her life. Although I generally disdain "Christian fiction" I...

Watching the Clock Tick
Kudos to any author who can successfully draw me away from a looming pile of "to do" items. This book was so painful yet delightful, I couldn't put it down until I'd reached the last page of sweet Mara's tale. Mary DeMuth has woven a heart-rending story filled with delicious characters, amazing...
