The Other
Daughter received
a FOUR Star review on Romantic Times Review Magazine, by senior
inspirational reviewer Melissa Parcel.
“Debut author Ferrell deftly
communicates the emotions of a family stunned by the surprise addition
of a new member. Each character handles the news differently, but
readers will identify with all of their dilemmas. The faith message is
strong and relevant to the plot.”
SUMMARY: Susanne Carson is speechless when
thirteen-year-old Brianna Stiles shows up on her doorstep claiming that
her mother is dead and Susanne’s husband, David, is her
father. As far as Susanne knows, she has been David’s one and
only ever since high school. They discover that Brianna really is
David’s daughter, and the news sends everyone in the family
reeling. Can they accept Brianna, or will they have to find someone
else to care for her? (KREGEL, Oct., 320 pp., $12.99)

“The
Other Daughter is a touching story of mistakes made before
marriage and the strength it takes when the spouse is blindsided by the
truth.”

“The
Other Daughter is an endearing story about betrayal and
forgiveness, stubbornness and submission, and the strength God shows
when we ask
him to work through us. Susanne Carson is a ‘good
person,’ but she’s missing so
much while she tries to maintain control of her life and faltering
marriage. It
takes the arrival of a bedraggled teen on her doorstep to show her
she’s not in
control; she’s never been in control; and help is just one
decision away.”

“In
The
Other Daughter, Miralee Ferrell handles a difficult subject
with sensitivity and soul. A great debut!”

“Miralee
Ferrell is one
of
my new favorite authors. In The
Other
Daughter, she
tells a beautiful story of love, forgiveness and redemption.
I became so caught up in the lives of her realistically drawn
characters, that
many of my household chores were left undone so I could read just one
more
page. But one more was never enough.”

Novel
Journey Review, Oct. 4th
How does a wife
deal with the sudden appearance of her husband's daughter that she
never knew about? Miralee Ferrell's debut novel lays bare the emotions
of broken trust and a marriage unequally yoked—and Ferrell
does it with the perceptivity of a seasoned author.
I found Susanne's emotions to be gut-wrenchingly
honest and the spiritual thread believable. Too often in Christian
fiction, the change in a character is forced. When Susanne seeks
affirmation for her hurt from a friend, the advice she gets leaves her
unsure. The gradual transition in Susanne is sparked by the faith of
her young daughter, Megan, and the understanding of a family friend.
Being
a step-mother, I totally related to Susanne's emotions throughout the
book. Ferrell hasn't pulled any punches in this hard hitting novel, and
it receives this reviewer's highest recommendation.
