Phyllis Marie

Phyllis Marie is an ambitious novel that makes a powerful statement about perseverance, courage, and the power of love and loyalty in a chaotic world. I was caught up in the complexity of the intertwined plots; the emotional and religious connections among families through the generations; the force of Perry's dream and the strength of his character; and Phyllis Marie, who binds them all together. The author makes Perry's dream of flying my own, and I am with him every time he takes off-every time he soars, inspired, and every time he begins to lose hope. His wife Phyllis Marie is enchanting in her mischievousness, her curiosity and fearlessness, her warmth and facility for fun. Terry Row has an amazing capacity for understanding the human condition and portraying it in the most effortless and compelling terms--with simple honesty. -Kathryn Lynn Davis, New York Times best selling author of Too Deep For Tears and Somewhere Lies the Moon
