This is a haunting story, quietly powerful and moving. An emotionally profound exploration of heartbreak.
Kirkus Reviews

Beautifully drawn, John Vander Velden’s Elizabeth’s Journey is an emotionally compelling story with a rich historical setting and cast of characters who are driven by the bonds of family, friendships, and the land.

This is an impressively thoughtful work, both dramatically exciting and emotionally captivating.
An intelligent and engaging literary meditation on love and spirituality.
