Shadows of the Moss:
“This captivating saga instantly draws readers into Irish immigrant Maggie McFarland’s quest to find her own self-worth in a new land where men claim others as property. As Maggie’s journey takes her from mid-19th century Ireland to Pennsylvania and south to the Carolina Lowcountry, she learns that her own trials and gifts offer her a unique perspective on the value of freedom and just what constitutes a real family. Thought-provoking and inspiring!” — Susan Diamond Riley, award-winning author of The Sea Island’s Secret and The Sea Turtle’s Curse
The Haunting of Monroe Manse: “Loved this book . It was a page turner that I could not put down. Great character development and descriptions of surroundings. Can’t wait for the next book. I highly recommend purchasing The Haunting of Monroe Manse, was thrilled to be able to download onto my Kindle. 5 stars.” JMC
Truer Words: “I really enjoyed this book. I felt like I knew the characters and how they were feeling. I have found that tree, and go to it often to look out over the water and think. Ms. Poovey takes you back in time to a time of turmoil and great love of family, country, and life.” IB
