Lyman is a wonderful writer and the story she tells in Satan's Garden quickly drew me in -- I read feverishly and on the edge of my seat. The story is told in alternating chapters by first one sister, then the other, in voices that are vivid and unique. I cared about each sister so much, and found myself willing them the strength to survive while hoping against hope that time would not run out. — Nina Sankovitch, Read All Day and The Huffington Post |
From a marketer and author standpoint, the level of attention Ms. Lyman has put into the book trailers and webpage show me this author is a force to be reckoned with. I strongly feel we will see this name on bestseller lists very soon. |
