Testimonials

  • "You were able to convey the journey of grief as one who has walked the road. I’m sure it will bless readers who are grieving but it just such a good read. You have managed to keep the suspense building so that you just don’t want to put the book down. I hope that you are writing another paradise cove sequel"

    Gail

  • Thank you, Karen, for sharing Mollie with me. Your book, Running Home, was a powerful testimony to the redemptive power of forgiveness. Well done Karen

    Claire

  • It was beautifully written Karen - easy to read but so descriptive and plenty of complexity with character and plot development. I loved being able to picture the part of the story set in Hobart - but that is just a luxury of locals I guess.

    Bessie

  • I just finished reading your book. I loved it!!! I didn’t want the book to finish. 😁 Can’t wait til your next book comes out.

  • "Reading “Running Home” was super meaningful to me, especially since I know the author and her family (albeit a long time ago). Plus I’ve been to Australia, so I can understand the culture and language a bit better. So much to think about and I wish I could discuss it with someone! Like the way the characters deal with trauma and grief in different ways, and how that affects everyone around them. And I love the key to effectively dealing with grief is forgiveness page 280."

  • "Highly recommend this novel by Karen Mace, a story of hope, forgiveness and love in the midst of grief. It's one of those books that is hard to put down as the characters come to life. "
