Jan 23-Feb 5, 2024, welcome to the blog tour of my eBook hosted by the publisher of my next three books, Celebrate Lit. 

Patti Pierce is posting a review today. She says on her site: We are a Christian family who homeschooled our children from the time our oldest was 10 until the time our youngest graduated. We have retired from the military and are now exploring our next great adventure. We currently live in eastern North Carolina. I enjoy Bible journaling, reading, crocheting, scrapbooking, and quilting. I am beginning to attempt art journaling. 

Truth and Grace Homeschool Academy Her review:

Step into the world of “Muldoon’s Minnesota Darling” by E.V. Sparrow, a captivating historical fiction novel that weaves together the lives of Mick Muldoon, a widower with a painful past, and Shauna McGann, a determined young woman with a hidden secret. In this blog post, we’ll explore the depths of this inspirational tale set against the backdrop of immigration, loss, love, and community bonds..

At the heart of the story is Mick Muldoon, who, after losing his family and farm, embarks on a new chapter in the United States with his siblings. His journey is one of resilience, and he grapples with questions about faith and whether his prayers will ever be answered. Enter seventeen-year-old Shauna McGann, whose determination to marry Mick sets the stage for a tale that is filled with twists and turns.

As Mick and Shauna’s courtship unfolds, so does a dark secret that Shauna is harboring from her parents and the tight-knit community. The revelation of this secret becomes a turning point in the narrative, forcing the community to come together and confront the challenges that lie ahead.

While some parts of the book may be described as slow, the overall experience is enriched by the meticulous character development and the intricate storyline. The characters’ struggles, triumphs, and emotional arcs make the reader deeply invested in their fates.

In the realm of historical fiction, “Muldoon’s Minnesota Darling” by E.V. Sparrow stands out as a poignant and inspiring tale. It combines the elements of loss, love, and community, making it a recommended read for those who appreciate well-crafted characters and a rich historical backdrop. If you’re a fan of this genre, don’t miss the chance to immerse yourself in this beautifully woven tapestry of emotions and history.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, but this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own.

Coffee imbiber, chocolate connoisseur (sugar free please, so I don’t have to give it up), and the studier of personalities. My current book series of 3 is historical fiction inspired by my quirky great grandfather on my dad’s side of the family tree. On October 27, 2024, The BookFest Awards bestowed First Place in General Historical Fiction upon it! Stunningly unexpected.

Book 2 focuses on his sister’s life, and Book 3 reveals some of his son’s life.

According to many rumors, authors never stop learning. I’m studying and reading cozy mysteries for future projects. I’ve convinced myself I’ve adjusted to the black hole of writing and the author’s life. Why not add more challenges? What could happen?

Glad you’ve visited my site, and hope you’re intrigued enough for us to connect further on social media.
