BOOK REVIEWS

Praise 

for Patricia Hartmann’s Books

I finished your newest novel “A Soft Place to Land” in one big gulp—it was such a fast read and easy page turner!  And Wow!!!  I was somewhat awestruck how you wrote a romance novel that so beautifully and powerfully brought in God, His goodness, redemption, scripture…all of it. 

          As I read it, I felt so excited and happy for how it would surely heal many hurting hearts and minds.

          This is surely the crown jewel of all your work. So, so beautiful!

—Rory Freedman

A wonderful story.  I laughed and I cried with each turn of the pages.

    I’ve been camping in my beloved Yosemite since 1952, when I was just a baby. You spoke to my heart by bringing to life all the special things about Yosemite that have become a part of me.  Thanks for the memories.

Cathie Maurer.  (Yosemite—One Last Golden Summer)

    Love, family, faith, and the struggles of a community fighting for survival, gift us with the real meaning of life. The story is fiction, but the impact is palpable. Patricia’s book speaks from the heart and is food for the soul.
