I was given Anna, a Story of Redemption as a gift. Not my usual genre, but I must confess I truly enjoyed it. The writer, Melanie , brought you into the story with such ease and within a few pages you felt as if you were there with Anna. Strong characters, beautifully crafted romance, historically interesting, well written. I recommend this book to anyone who loves taking a journey back in time and living with the people there.

It took me a while to read  Anna, a Story of Redemption, because of my eye sight, but what a wonderful story!  I laughed, cried, got mad and loved the entire book.   Written with such depth and clarity that I had to remind myself  it is a novel, not a biography.  I hope you continue your writing career the world needs beautiful love stories.

I just finished reading Anna a Story of Redemption. What a wonderful story!  It has everything good books should have. Strong characters, suspense, love, hate and surprise ending.  Thank you for writing this beautiful story.

I just loved reading Anna, and finished it just moments ago. I love the way you tied it all together at the end – what a joy.
The characters become real and the tale itself is captivating and real, especially to hear eye witness accounts from characters who lived with Jesus before, during and well after the crucifixion.

Romance books are not my thing, but thank you for writing such a great book. God used it to bring healing to me and my relationship with others. Forgiveness came to me and through me as I read this novel. Your characters were  strong  and so real, the history is spot on. Again thank you so very much this book changed my life.  My wife says your second book  is completely different, but just as good.

This book was given to me as a gift and I absolutely LOVE it! The author brings to life the story of Anna's and how her life fit into the time of Christ. It is moving, romantic, and a love story for her husband and her Lord. It is a "must read" for everyone and a great gift to the Christian woman. This is a five star book!

Anna has been a really interesting read. I started the day it came and finished it last night. I felt very close to these folks and to Jesus as I participated in their struggles and "walked" with Anna through her lifetime. Thanks so much.

The book is absolutely amazing and evokes all sorts of emotions, and I've never cried so much from a book in my life!! 🙂 One day, I wanted to pause from reading and share with you what I was feeling at that time, but since I didn't want to put the book down, I just kept on going. 🙂  If I didn't have to balance the book with other responsibilities, I would have finished it in a day....because it keeps you wanting to know what's next and next and next while getting fed spiritually. You are a seriously a gifted writer!! Love this BOOK!

Anna is one of the most inspirational and beautiful books I've read. The faith-filled miracles of God that emblazon these pages bring light to the soul and encourage one to come unto the Master Jesus Christ. I've grown closer to Him as I apply such faith and goodness, as found in this book, to my own life. He truly is in everything, especially us. If you know and love God, or want to come to know Him, read this book! I promise you'll be blessed as you let the teachings of the Savior change you.

Melanie, I finished your book  ANNA and I truly loved it!  sincerely, I couldn’t put it down. My grandchildren commented “wow, grandma, you must really like that book.” I’m looking forward to the next one.
