Gohlke's efforts to address real-life issues and the evils of
racism is laudable and shows religious truths in this Christian
historical-fiction novel. Night Bird Calling also interlaces themes
of redemption, friendship, and grace, and its depiction of a small
southern town is reminiscent of writings by Lisa
Wingate.--Booklist
Gohlke (Secrets She Kept) delivers a gripping story about the
trauma of domestic and church abuse set in 1941 Appalachia. . . .
Gohlke creates a cast readers will love, and the strong themes of
the bonds of family forged outside one's kin resonate. The author's
fans will love this.--Publishers Weekly
Cathy Gohlke examines spousal abuse and restored faith in Night
Bird Calling, an engrossing novel about a woman's flight to rural
Appalachia. . . . Night Bird Calling is a sumptuous, textured ode
to small-town relationships. For all of their intricate secrets and
sins, No Creek and its battlegrounds yield to become a beautiful
refuge.--Foreword Reviews
