What others have said about "Katrina's Wings"...

"Katrina's Wings was everything I expected and more. Hickman's writing is very mature and smooth, wonderful images and style, great pacing. The characters are real people - all flawed, many quirky, but richly endearing - all a sign of very high quality writing. This book is what reading addicts call a "keeper". Bravo!"

"Katrina's Wings is a phenomenal work of art. If you are searching for a story with a strong yet subtle Christian message, a deep and abiding music all its own, a depth seldom found in today's literature, and a vision of hope in an imperfect world, buy this book. Katrina's Wings is more than a delight. It is a gift."

"I can think of few greater indulgences than a quiet place to prop up one's feet, a glass of iced tea in one hand and Patricia Hickman's Katrina's Wings in the other. Keep some tissues handy, and be prepared to laugh as well. Beautiful language, fascinating characters moving about the pages, and a richly woven story make this a delightful read!"

"I stepped into the world of Katrina's Wings with a shock of recognition, for it was my world! I grew up in a small Arkansas town, and for page after page, I relived a time that is now gone. It's all there - the southern world with its smells and music and small town pettiness and hospitality. From the jarring noise of the high school hallways to the gentle whisperings of the river, a world has been resurrected in Katrina's Wings."
