Delightful story about a family's journey to freedom and a better life...The author's brilliant description takes you to the places where her characters live. It is an amazing story of hope that should be shared with every child. Cannot wait to see what happens in the next book! I highly recommend this book to anyone who believes in hope and fate!

A Twist of Fate is an excellent book about fate and miracles. This is a fantastic read about the love that a family has for one another. With a little fate and a lot of love you overcome the hardest times in your life; a story all families should share together.

Such a wonderful story about a family's love and decision to search for a new life in a new land. The author has you hoping for the best right along with her characters, and shows that you must never give up. Life changing miracles do happen. This is a wonderful story to share with the children in your life. I cannot wait to read about Geraldina adapting to life in America in future stories!

A Twist of Fate is the perfect story to read to so many of our schoolchildren who have endured a similar experience. The illustrations and story line are enjoyable to children of so many ages and adults too!! I highly recommend purchasing this book for personal use and school libraries.

This story was so heartwarming, and the fact that it is based on true events make it even better.
You really could feel all of Geraldina's emotions as she experienced them.

This book is a great read for all ages. It's the story of hope, motivation, faith and a strong love of family. The story
reinforces that all things are possible if you believe and don't give up on your dream.

A "heart jerking" tale that left me in suspense. I believed in this family and wanted the best for them the entire time. The figurative language is reflective of good writing and provides excellent "teaching points" for use with students. The story is very child friendly and is an excellent source for historical fiction instruction. It leaves you valuing family and appreciating the time you spend together with loved ones. Lastly you will find that miracles can come true!

I was moved by the story that tells the tale of freedom and the series of coincidences that guided the author's path to the US. Most of us have stories about our family's immigration here, but this story allows our children to better understand how fortunate we really are.

Love this book so much!!! It is a great lesson for children to never give up on faith and to never give up on themselves but also a lesson to us adults who always think negative about life. Theres always a light at the end of the tunnel! Incredible story!!!

Loved this book. Well written and tells a moving story of a father's love for his family. Very important in this day and age when so many fathers play such a small role in their children's lives.
