From the new issue of ForeWord Reviews (winter 2014):
"The vivid realities of war, the challenges of love denied, and the graceful inner turmoil of a young novice in a cloister weave together in a beautiful étude of humanity. Harriet Scott Chessman succeeds in writing a song of the soul in The Beauty of Ordinary Things. ... Her writing is like poetry spoken in real, soft voices. It would be hard to close this book and not feel changed."
Harriet Scott Chessman is touring New England this week, appearing tomorrow night (Dec. 4th) at RJ Julia Booksellers in Madison, CT. See her other dates here.
