BEFORE YOU WERE MINE is a moving and emotional story that is sure to touch readers' hearts." ~ Karen Katchur, author of THE SISTERS OF BLUE MOUNTAIN "5 STARS - A love story that surprises in so many ways. Em Muslin has written a great debut book here. Before You Were Mine explores love on so many levels it had me reaching for the tissues more than once. It's heartening to see people who seem totally self-serving suddenly step up and make things right. I would like to share some fudge pie and coffee with Eli." - Jo Ann Mapson Best selling author of author of: Owen's Daughter/Finding Casey/Solomon's Oak/The Owl & Moon Cafe/The Bad Girl Creek trilogy/The Wilder Sisters/Hank & Chloe; Loving Chloe/Shadow Ranch/ Blue Rodeo Em Muslin’s Debut novel is heart stoppingly beautiful.

Every reader can benefit from reading this book as it grabs onto your heart strings and pulls you in to compelling story that includes all aspects of family. This story is not only a great piece of literature, the story unfolds into much more than just Eli's obsession but digs deeper into the life she left behind years ago. - Biblio Beauty Book Blog 5 STARS - Outstanding! Complete page turner! I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the storyline perfectly knits together. This book has many twists and turns taking you on Eli's journey of self discovery and emotional turmoil. - LoveForBooks2017 5 STARS - I defy any mother to read this without welling up. “Eli is not your ‘usual’ heroine from a women’s novel. This itself taught me a lesson about what we see as a ‘typical’ female hero, and the many different forms that human strength can take. If I could give this book a 6 I would, because of the way it took me by surprise and involved me so utterly with its heroine despite our different walks of life. I would highly recommend and cannot wait to read more from this author.” – Rachel Dann – Author of Pieces of My Life Publisher: Harper Collins |
