Praise for “The Buzz @ Chicky-Pie’s Café”
“‘The Buzz at Chicky-Pie’s Café’ is a compelling novel of drama and suspense. As a child, Elise is adopted, but her hopes of a happy life quickly dissolve as she becomes a victim of human trafficking, abused by her adoptive parents for domestic servitude and worse. The question of where is God during difficult times resonates and carries throughout this powerful novel.” – Mia Walshaw, Author
“‘The Buzz @ Chicky-Pie’s Café’ by Iris Carignan is an evocatively written tale showcasing Carignan’s vivid and engaging writing style. The characters undergo poignant development—none more so than Elise. Readers will become deeply invested in Elise’s journey.
Carignan’s powerful grasp of words connects us with Elise’s suffering at the hands of evil people and deepens one’s compassion for all who endure similar pain. Amidst the tale’s shadows of despair and brokenness, Carignan beautifully weaves a testament to the unparalleled hope and healing found in our God.
A must-read for those seeking a story of redemption and resilience.” – Shawn Thornton, Senior Pastor, Calvary Community Church, Westlake Village, CA
