Review Quotes




A 2020 Goodreads Choice Awards Semifinalist: Best Historical Fiction

"The genuine bond between John and Naomi will keep readers turning the pages." --Publishers Weekly

"Where the Lost Wander is as much a perilous story...as it is an enduring tale of harmony, friendship, love, and hope." --Historical Novel Society

"If you're a fan of historical fiction, you'll find Where the Lost Wander by Amy Harmon, a wonderful read...this story is one of courage in the face of the unknown and the importance of perseverance when all feels lost." --Barbara Delinsky, New York Times bestselling author
