"Mystical and magically written, Saints In Limbo, is a beautiful novel from start to finish. With vivid characters and lush language, readers will find themselves thinking of Augusta Trobaugh's Resting in the Bosom of the Lamb. Fans of River Jordan will be thrilled with this latest work."
— Michael Morris, author of Slow Way Home
