I can’t believe this is your first book. From beginning to end it is a fascinating mix of cultures, similar to Amy Tan drawing you into a great ending.

Roly Andrews is a natural-born storyteller with an amazing active imagination. I was taken back by the strength of the characters and how they all came alive during the story. At times the suspense was palatable and I could feel the pain of the principal characters. For a first novel, I was suitably impressed and will definitely read his next. Gripping!

What a great read! Very descriptive – I could see it all happening before my eyes. I shed a tear on more than two occasions What courageous and humble women they all were! Well done Roly Andrews on your first book! Look forward to reading more from you! Sooner rather than later!

Well worth reading

A long tangled weave of a story bringing together different cultures but with the important thread, belief in where you have come from. A remarkable first book reminiscent of Amy Tan and her family sagas.
