. It’s worth it.”–Maria Elizabeth Perez
“The future world that Helen Smith paints is frightening in the fact that I could envision it being real instead of fiction. The women are not allowed to work but have to stay home. They have to cover up when they venture out of the confines of home. This reminds me of my time when I was living in Saudi Arabia and had to cloak when I ventured out of my Western compound but The Miracle Inspector
–Kristie Leigh Maguire, author of Second Chances

Three Sisters
” before the product description was even up, because I am a big fan of Helen Smith and all her books, and I was not disappointed. At 70-ish pages, this story is longer than your average short story, yet even in a short space, Helen manages to create a sympathetic and likeable main character, Emily Castles. I look forward to reading the further adventures of Emily.”–Anne Marie
“Love this short little mystery. I read it in one afternoon and REALLY enjoyed the way the author set up the story. Kind of a murder mystery theater gone wrong. Makes me wish I could have been there. 🙂 Keep ’em coming Helen!”
