What People are Saying About This

Cindy Crosby

"...Nichols admirably shows how even the most seemingly unforgivable sins can be redeemed, and how understanding a person's past can illuminate their actions and lead to forgiveness. Readers will especially enjoy the delightful character of Eden, an unusually self-aware 11-old who steals the novel.... Most of all, readers in search of reminders of grace for their own brokenness and mistakes will find comfort within these pages."--(Cindy Crosby, faithfulreader.com)

Violet Nesdoly

"Nichols' writing style achieves a nice balance of poetry and efficiency - descriptive and detailed but not flowery, good conversation, and no ambivalence about whose head one is in. In fact, I felt she excelled at getting inside the minds and emotions of pretty much every character, even the very minor ones. The title is another little stylistic coup with its double-meaning possibilities.
The way the story explores family relationships, forgiveness, mother love, and adoption will give it appeal to readers in a wide range of ages. It is written from a Christian worldview but is never preachy. However, even though God is not mentioned much overtly, His fingerprints are all over this story....
For a thoughtful and satisfying read that will leave you feeling warmed and hopeful, In Search of Eden is a good choice. The paperback edition I read came with a set of discussion questions at the end, making this book excellent for reading clubs too."--(Violet Nesdoly, blogcritics.org)
