        December 6, 2010
        In this heartwarming faith-based tale, the Anthony family, on the run from their alcoholic husband and father, leaves Minneapolis for the small town of Mills River, Ill. But they've barely begun to acclimate when sassy old lady Tillie Monroe shows up at their doorstep explaining that the house once belonged to her and her late husband. Tillie charms the Anthonys and, before long, becomes part of the family. Under Tillie's spiritual guidance, the family begins to find strength in themselves and God. Young daughter Roz, however, continues to struggle with paternal rejection and longs for her family to reunite. Only when Tillie shows immense courage does Roz realize the true meaning of family and faith. Tatlock (The Returning) writes a lively narrative that will please readers who enjoy Christian drama. While the book may be too predictable for some, others will find its message poignant and moving.

        Starred review from February 15, 2011
        Award-winning inspirational-fiction author Tatlock continues to excel in her latest contemporary novel, a coming-of-age tale about 11-year-old Roz Anthony. After leaving behind an alcoholic, abusive father, the Anthonys are just getting settled in their new home in small-town Illinois in the 1960s when the eccentric, stubborn Tillie Monroe shows up. The former owner of the house, Tillie has made a commitment to herself to die there and will not leave any other way. Filling a noticeable need in a single mothers life, Tillie quickly becomes a member of the family, and her sweet faith in God soon refreshes the entire house. Tatlock skillfully addresses the issues raised by the eras civil rights movement with the introduction of Rozs best friend, Mara Nightingale, as both girls keep secrets that will bind them together in ways that were largely unheard of at the time. Even as it moves along at a comfortable pace, the novel is peppered with suspense. Young Rozs story bears a resemblance to that of CeeCee in Beth Hoffmans Saving CeeCee Honeycutt (2010). Recommended for fans of inspirational coming-of-age stories and tales of brave young women.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
