Kelley Takes You There

On page one Nancy J. Kelley transported me to a place and time in Old New England that has never felt more real. And her brilliant story about the loving, complex, smart and courageous Hannah kept me there throughout. This is a book ear marked for all my nieces and nephews for Christmas 2002, but make no mistake: this wonderful story is also for adults who wish to be treated to a beautifully written novel about a fascinating time in Boston's history. Write on, Nancy Kelley!

Wonderfully Done!

Great story line, captures your interest immediately. Certain to have young readers enjoy a bit of Bay State history. Terrific cover. Should become a classic!Looking forward to more from Nancy J. Kelley!
