"Stranger Here Below has the feel of an heirloom, treasured stories of friendship, misunderstanding, forgiveness, and mystery. All woven beautifully together by Joyce Hinnefeld's deft, homespun prose. It's a novel I hope mothers and daughters will read together. ...The central characters--Maze and Mary Elizabeth--are coming bravely into the unknown. Enthralled by their journey, I did not want the book to end." -- Patricia Henley, author of In the River Sweet ?"In her lovely new novel, Joyce Hinnefeld introduces us to a fascinating cast of characters--sisters, visitors, pilgrims, strangers--and untangles the mysteries of their lives with her distinctive grace and delicacy. She is a remarkable writer who gives her readers pleasures to savor on every page." -- Joanna Scott, author of Follow Me: A Novel "Lofty plot and cleverly imagined characters..." -- Washington Post "a multigenerational novel spanning decades rich in history... Recommended for its wide appeal to readers seeking thoughtful, well-written fiction." -- Library Journal
