What Others are Saying
Once upon a time in a different life I was an editor of young adult curriculum. That meant I read a great deal of literature meant for that age group and even developed a taste for it. I read Sharon Johnson’s Milky Way Rising with high expectations. And also some dread. You don’t like to say anything negative to a favorite sister-in-law!
But I found the story to be a genuine page-turner with well-developed characters, humor, and a heartbreaking story line. I started it with misgivings and by the time I was halfway through I couldn’t put it down. The best young adult fiction is not just for young adults but for anyone who likes a good story.
Milky Way Rising is a wonderful, profound, extremely entertaining and captivating pathway to engaging the heights of blessings and the bottomless cavern of the curses all families experience on planet earth.
