Abstract:
Here is a review of both of Melody Higdon's books:

Please e mail me if or when there is a third book by Melody L. Higdon. I read and loved both Gale- Borne Child and With Crystal Clarity. Every page was full of one of the best easy to read styles that i have encountered. Interesting characters were well chosen as well as the plot and the subject. It might be a science-fiction but 'Ive read it as if i was watching on the sidelines while the events were unfolding. She pulled me into the story. What can I say "hat's off" and congradulations.

About this book:
