<em><font color="#009900">"Good book! I loved it! I felt numerous emotions while reading The Wonder. It made me laugh and cry. I can relate to many of the circumstances in the book. The love of family and friends were incredibly present, as well as the love of God. I loved how the characters in the story were able to work through their trials and tribulations by prayer and faith. This is a truly inspiring book."<br /><span></span> -Altha R. <br /><span></span><br /></font></em><span><font color="#009900"><em>"This is a fun book that will have you laughing and thinking.

Uncanny similarities between the main character Meesha and I."<br /><span></span> -Natalie R.<br /><span></span><br /><span></span>"The book is awesome! I read it within the week of getting it. Once you start reading it, you can't put it down. It touched on questions that I have regarding my beliefs and what I was seeking at the time. I have started reading it again. I can't wait until you publish another. God has given you a gift to share with others."<br /><span></span> -Linda M.<br /><span></span><br /></font></em><span><font color="#009900"><em>"I absolutely loved the book. It was such an easy read that took me through the entire range of emotion. There were times when I wanted to step in the book and tell a couple of the characters what I thought. It was like you were standing in the back of the room watching every event. I could truly identify with the characters, actually, there were things in the book that I%u2019m going through myself. I can%u2019t wait for the next book(s) to comes out."<br /></em> -</font><em><font color="#009900">Cynthia H.<br /><span></span><br />"I loved The Wonder. I could relate to all of the characters in your book and it was humorous. I hated for it to end. My daughter is now reading it and loves it too."<br /><span></span> -Pamela G.<br /><span></span><br /></font></em><span><font color="#009900"><em>%u201CBeing a member of the male species, I did not find any joy or pleasure out of reading fiction. My interest lie in Military History, but that all changed after reading The Wonder. I found myself glued to each page every opportunity that I had to read each sentence and paragraph. I found myself nodding my head and agreeing with each of the characters as I reflected upon my youth growing up in the North Carolina churches I was raised in; seeing each character in my own church from the Pastor down to the Deacons, Mothers and other members of the church. I ended up reading it twice (missing nuggets I did not see before). Indeed, Mrs. Jackson has found a reader/fan for life; can%u2019t wait until the next book comes out!%u201D<br /></em> -</font><font color="#009900"><em>Bryan Winfred Massey, Sr.<br /><span></span> </em> </font><font color="#009900"><em>Professor<br /><span></span> University of Central Arkansas</em> </font></span></span></span></span>
