Editorial Reviews

Like many of us, Melanie finds herself in circumstances where she has difficulty seeing the good. Even so, her new church community is ready to show her and her family the love of Christ. Whether already people of faith or still seeking, readers young and old can join Melanie on her journey as she takes steps closer to the light.
—S. E. M. Ishida, author of the "Nick Newton" series

Carefully weaving the events of Melanie On The Move, author J.D. Rempel compels the reader to search for "an understanding of the truth behind the fiction." The title character, caught up in a series of seemingly unfair circumstances, is drawn to examine her view of the world when she's challenged by the message of Romans 8:28 ("God works all things for the good to those who love him").
—Susan Bollinger, Teacher/Literacy Coach
