4.0 out of 5 stars A great book about family, marriage and God!, October 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Copper Hill (Hidden West Series #2) (Paperback)

I really enjoyed this book. A husband and wife writing team spend the summer in Arizona writing a book. It tells of the struggles and joys of marriage and raising a family while looking for God's guidance. And some interesting stuff happens during their book-writing summer. I hope they continue this series. It's good to read a book that puts family and marriage in a positive light.

Mystery and history wrapped up into one. Christian influence strong, but not pushy. I loved this book and wish there were more in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Copper Hill, September 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Copper Hill (Hidden West Series #2) (Hardcover)

A good read for those who enjoy humor and adventure and entertaining interplay of relationships in a husband-wife writing team. The unique setting of Jerome, Arizona, the town sliding down a hill, with its idiosyncratic characters, provide Tony & Price Shadowbrook a crazy summer of research while keeping up with their own family's antics.
