Delicate Armor is a 2012 Midwest Book Awards Finalist. Twelve mid-western states participated.
Excerpts from the judges’ comments:
“The quality of writing is excellent and the story is wonderful…the author clearly knows her craft. This book is hard to put down…all the characters are well drawn out…Y A [young adults] will enjoy this novel, as will adults, male and female. This is a very well written novel with delightful characters—especially Callie—and a tightly woven plot that keeps the reader’s interest throughout. I read this book to the end, and I am glad I did.”
“I love these characters!! They are all so intensely themselves—they are like characters distilled to perfection—round, full, enormous in how they fill the story. And masterful dialogue! Wow—it’s very impressive…Thank you for an enjoyable read!”
Delicate Armor is available through Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and your local independent bookstore.
