Liz Tolsma delivers an engaging story showing the power of a mother’s love in Slashed Canvas. At first glance, Katarina is a character that many people will have little to no sympathy for. However, Tolsma does a beautiful job of growing this character throughout the story. Tenderly. Authentically.
Not only does Tolsma provide a wonderful character arc, she also gives readers a fun mystery to solve. The moment you think you’ve got the who-dunnit, Tolsma brings a twist that throws you off track. When you reach the end and finally find out who the culprit is, not only are you pleasantly surprised, but you can look back at the story and see all the little clues that Tolsma provided along the way.
A retelling of The Lost Princess, Tolsma has brought her unique flair to the story and gives readers a fun, well written story that will have their attention from start to finish. The romance, secondary characters, faith theme and setting all add depth and layers to the story. Slashed Canvas is a story that historical and mystery fans alike will enjoy.
Jessica’s love for reading began as a young child when her grandmother read her the book Teeny Tiny Woman. In fact, most of the books she read as a child were given to Jessica by her grandmother, to whom she is eternally grateful for encouraging her to read. Over the years that passion has grown stronger, and she now finds herself reading as often as she can. Today Jessica has a diverse taste in Christian books, ranging from Amish to suspense, historical to contemporary, and everywhere in between.
Jessica loves sharing her passion for reading with others, and connecting readers with authors. In addition to blogging at A Baker’s Perspective and Diversity Between the Pages,Jessica is a Virtual Assistant and proof reader. Though she wishes she had a library like Belle in Beauty and the Beast, Jessica realizes the importance of sharing her books with the world to tell THE story, and donates many books to her local library.
