Reviews:
“Despite their personal challenges, you can’t help but root for the characters in this absorbing and well-written first novel. Anyone who is a parent (or remembers their own childhood) can relate to the complex emotions of loss, shame, and love beautifully evoked by this story. ” – Amazon Reviewer
“Ken Levine’s first novel is thoughtful, well written, compelling and takes the reader on a journey that eventually finds fragile hope in the often bleak and perilous lives of Terrence and Estelle and their boy Mason. I found myself savoring the intelligent soulfulness of the author as it glowed through his well drawn characters, vivid setting and page turning drama. Having just finished “North of Nowhere,” I await his next work with anticipation, and am left wondering if it’s true….. perhaps change is the only miracle. ” – Amazon Reviewer
