OUTSTANDING PRAISE FOR THE NOVELS OF ELLEN MARIE WISEMAN! THE LIFE SHE WAS GIVEN “Wiseman has crafted a can’t-put-it-down novel of family secrets involving two young girls who only seek to be loved. Perfect for book clubs and readers who admired Sara Gruen’s Like Water for Elephants.” —Library Journal, Starred Review COAL RIVER “Wiseman offers heartbreaking and historically accurate depictions. . . . The richly developed coal town acts as a separate, complex character; readers will want to look away even as they're drawn into a powerful quest for purpose and redemption . . . a powerful story” —Publishers Weekly “Heartrending and strongly drawn.” —Booklist WHAT SHE LEFT BEHIND “A real page turner.” —Historical Novel Society “A great read!” —The San Francisco Book Review THE PLUM TREE “The meticulous hand-crafted detail and emotional intensity of The Plum Tree immersed me in Germany during its darkest hours and the ordeals its citizens had to face. A must-read for WWII Fiction aficionados—and any reader who loves a transporting story.” —Jenna Blum, New York Times bestselling author of Those Who Save Us “Ellen Marie Wiseman’s provocative and realistic images of a small German village are exquisite. The Plum Tree will find good company on the shelves of those who appreciated Skeletons at the Feast,by Chris Bohjalian, Sarah’s Key, by Tatiana de Rosnay, and Night, by Elie Wiesel.” —NY Journal of Books “Her characters are not just victims, but flesh-and-blood people. If you care about humanity, you must read The Plum Tree.” —Sandra Dallas, author of The Patchwork Bride
