DeMuth is a Master of Fresh Writing. Her stories are so vivid you can taste the air and dirt of Defiance, Texas (the pure poetry of her writing is almost overwhelming the first several chapters, but like a hot bath after easing into it, it's delightful).
Daisy Chain is a compelling novel more than worthy of a Hallmark movie. The changes in time can be a little confusing, but soon get sorted out within a paragraph or two. The book is written in the third person, but she easily places us inside Jed's skin, the main character. It almost feels as if it's written in the first. His flaws make him relatable and his heartache is palatable. She grapples ten-gallon sized questions about God's ways without a hidden flavor of preachiness.
Rating: Superb, vivid and heart-touching. A coming of age journey.
