Reviews for Leaving Tinkertown
“Goodman writes beautifully. The characters are well drawn, compelling, and convincing. Most importantly, the book has genuine emotional power, which builds as the story unfolds, even though how it will end is understood from the beginning.”- Frank Huyler, author of The Blood of Strangers
