Reviews

"Outstanding... The author created a work of fiction that successfully tells about historical events while capturing the reader's attention. I was hooked from the beginning and could hardly put the book down before finishing... Harvey Girl is an excellent book. Author Foard effectively teaches a history lesson while weaving a story about a high-spirited Ozark farm girl from "Missourah." --Nancy Ray, Texas Ranger Dispatch, Spring 2009
