Testimonials
C.L. Craig invites us to a story of family fraught with mystery but with characters so endearing you’ll look for their Christmas letter to catch you up on how they’re doing. A finely plotted story from the South and from the heart with surprises to the very end.
Jane Kirkpatrick, Award-winning author of The Healing of Natalie Curtis
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, a glimpse into a pivotal time in American history--through the eyes of a young woman unraveling the mystery surrounding her birth. The author does a masterful job of scene setting, the imagery so compelling that more than once I found myself reading phrases aloud. The characters are well drawn, dialogue natural, and the conflicts are believable and engaging. The mystery unfolds gradually, like a building storm, allowing the reader to explore its emotional impact on the characters. There are unexpected twists, poignant revelations, and a satisfying conclusion. I recommend The Vast In Between to those who enjoy family drama, Southern fiction, and a warm, humor-infused and wholesome read.
