A PLACE CALLED HARMONY is one of those stories that you will remember for a long time to come. I loved the characters and they way they each came into the people they were meant to be by finding a place of their own and someone to love and share it with. Jodi Thomas never fails to deliver. I absolutely love her plots and fulfilling tales of her characters finding their way.

Anyone reading A PLACE CALLED HARMONY will end with a feeling of contentment and warmth. You will definitely be in line for the next book in this series.
