“Falling Stars held my interest from the beginning with a wonderful story set in my hometown of Eureka Springs. The story within the story comes together in such a way that leaves you wanting more. This is a ‘don’t miss’ book by a very talented author. I can’t wait to share it with my book club.”

“I am a prolific reader, and this is one of those books I couldn’t wait to pick up each time to read what was about to happen, especially towards the end. The author does a great job of pulling in and rounding out all the elements of the story. Her characters are well-developed, and I could really empathize with the mother and her ways of dealing with her son’s quirkiness, especially his bedroom setup. I liked the way Callan’s characteristics meshed so perfectly within the storyline. The love scene I found especially romantic . . . my only spoiler. You’ll just have to read the book yourself to find out!”

“As a lifelong English teacher, I so admire Rogers’s richly drawn characters, the manipulation of past and present, the juxtaposition of stark reality and mysticism, the descriptive and precise word choices. This book isn’t even a genre I’d particularly gravitate toward, yet I thought about Falling Stars constantly when I couldn’t read, and the book stayed with me long after I finished. I couldn’t stop seeing Tommy in his high-tech casket. Am I obsessed? Well done!”

“Falling Stars is an exceptional novel. The storytelling and its emotional momentum are enthralling. Having personal experience with cancer and its profound horrors, I can only add that I’m convinced readers will connect with Tommy and June—with all its sharply drawn characters—and find the light pulsing in what might seem infinite darkness. Falling Stars is a magical feast, and it moved me deeply. I loved the back-and-forth timeline—and I see the book appealing not only to Anne Rice readers, but historical fiction buffs. The narrative approach adds pleasing depth to the story and charges it with realism.”
