      OUTSTANDING PRAISE FOR THE NOVELS OF ELLEN MARIE WISEMAN!

      THE PLUM TREE

      “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.”

      —New York Journal of Books

      “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

      “Wiseman eschews the genre’s usual military conflicts in favor of the slow, inexorable pressure of daily life during wartime, lending an intimate and compelling poignancy to this intriguing debut.”

      —Publishers Weekly

      “Ellen Marie Wiseman weaves a story of intrigue, terror, and love from a perspective not often seen in Holocaust novels.”

      —Jewish Book World

      —Historical Novel Society

      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

      “This book will attract readers of historical fiction and those looking for strong female characters.”

      —VOYA Magazine

      “Heartrending and strongly drawn.”

      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

      “Wiseman has created two equally enticing story lines that gradually reveal the commonalities between them. This well-crafted novel provides rewards throughout.”

      —Publishers Weekly

      “Wiseman excels at creating an atmosphere... Her characters are all vividly drawn and complex, especially Lilly’s abusive mother, Coralline. But at the heart of Wiseman’s tale of loss and redemption are Lilly and Julia, connected in spirit by their determination to overcome years of pain and sorrow. Fans of Karen White and Sara Gruen will be drawn in by the drama and mystery of Wiseman’s novel.”
