TESTIMONIALS
“
This is such a wonderfully written book! I bonded with the characters immediately and was right beside them on this journey thru the Arkansas hills. I delighted in the children's discoveries and was reminded of times past! I especially liked the spiritual references as they reflected on day to day living. -K. Roberts
This story will grab your attention quickly and keep you coming back for more. The Arkansas accent of the wonderful narrator in the audio book makes her a believable witness to the story. I loved the character development and twists and turns. And the music from local artists enhanced the overall experience. -L. Crisp
“
Great story with characters one could visualize. Was written giving no hint of a proposed ending. Would love to see it become a movie. Refreshing. --Vicky Johnson
Totally captivating. Bona-Fide makes you want to jump right in and meet everyone in Whisper Ridge. (At the Eat-A-Bite of course!) I literally finished this 500+ page book in under 2 days. I couldn't put it down. You need to order this book, grab a good cup o' joe, sit in your favorite comfy chair and get lost in the journey along with Sassy, Earldean, Ed Earl and Learline. You won't regret it! -Allison Bryan
“
You will laugh, cry and feel as if you have become part of this family as you read along. The innocence these children have is priceless and at times, hilarious! I recommend this book to everyone that wants a great read and the ability to fall in love with each of the Bona-Fide characters. -S. Stepp
Just finished reading this book. I purchased it years ago and started reading it; however it got put aside thru several moves and was somehow forgotten--how unfortunate! It is a wonderful book! I laughed and cried out loud and absolutely could not put it down for the entire last half of the book! What a great read. -Herzogzwei
