The blurbs in the ads and on the back cover of the book in no way prepared me for the impact of MOTHER OF EXILES. This is powerful stuff about good and evil, failure and grace, and human frailty. The unlikely heroine, Ronia Sorenson, plunges into the abyss of human misery as a chaplain in a maximum security prison. She is carried by the maelstrom of events, kicking, screaming, and protesting her unworthiness all the way, into ultimately making a difference in her world by taking a stand. In fact, it is her very human fumbling, blundering, and yes, bleeding heart, that in the end wins the day -- and our hearts. I sincerely hope that there are more Ronia Sorenson books in the pipeline; I want to keep her as a friend. Sharon Cairns Mann writes with grit, earthiness, humor, and a combination of affection and curiosity for people and their mixed feelings and motives. She seduces us with the realness of her characters and hooks us with a gripping story. This is one of the best novels I have read in years. Encore!
