My Review

I am really enjoying the series, Doors to the Past Barbour Publishing has out.
This one is written by one of my favorite authors, Carrie Fancett Pagels.
Her love for Michigan and Mackinac Island is very apparent in her writing and thorough research she does for her books. Her enthusiasm really shines through.
Behind Love’s Wall, as many of her other books are has most of it’s setting on Mackinac Island from 1895 to 2020 in this dual time-line novella. I enjoyed reading this as it revisited many of her past books through characters that show up in this book.
This book kept me happily turning pages past my bed time as I was intrigued by the mysterious past that so perfectly meshed with the present. I loved all the historical details and be sure to read the author’s notes at the back of the book for more information.
Highly recommended!

I was given a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you.
