Into the Fire

The highest praise for me directed at my novels is this: "They seem so real. It's like I know the people in the story – or that I want to meet them." 

"I appreciate the honest reality of the temptations many Christian’s experience and struggle with."

"Right off the bat I was drawn to the book’s two main characters, Stone and Jenna, who are as rich and as complicated as people are in real life—something I like in a novel."

"As a Christian, I find her writing inspiring as she unfolds the realities of life as they tie into a relationship with Jesus."

"Petrino-Salter also captures the pain, anger, shame, and defensive attitude that so often manifests in the lives of women who have been sexually abused."

"This story has such a great message. In addition to that, I loved all the characters. They seem like real people."

"I could relate to the characters…. especially the young lady who was so broken."

"Petrino-Salter creates a three-dimensional man that each reader can understand and relate to. I felt his frustration and depression and yearned for him to find the true love of his life."

Thank you to the readers of my novels who "get" me, who understand the contrasts I make, the befores and afters, the pain, the temptations, the ugly, and the beauty, the passion, the love of and in life. Thank you to each one who felt something reading the story. Thank you to each one who championed the "real" factor in the different stories. 

Thank you is not enough. I'm so grateful to all of you. 

Father, thank you is never enough for all that you've given me, done for me. Never enough, but it's all I have. I love you, Lord. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
