“Crabb achieves a notable level of psychological realism by revealing her characters’ pasts via a series of emotional triggers.” — Kirkus Reviews
“She also gives a highly visual sense of place to the characters’ hometown of Sanctuary, Michigan: “Still, there was no avoiding the glare of the midday sun blazing down...so much so that the village antique store appeared to squint.” — Kirkus Reviews
— Get connected to my publisher Adelaide Books where THE OTHER SIDE OF SANCTUARY is available for purchase and SEE AUTHOR INTERVIEW at:
”Set in the beautifully rendered fictional town of Sanctuary on Lake Michigan, The Other Side of Sanctuary is a gripping tale of an ordinary couple facing extraordinary challenges. Through a cast of complex characters caught in a web of romance, jealousy, secrets, and revenge, this story explores the essential question every person who loves another must ultimately ask: Which sins are forgivable? Which ones are not? And what exactly does it mean to imperfectly love another imperfect human being? The answers will stay with readers long after this story reaches its stunning conclusion.” - Jennifer McGaha, author Flat Broke With Two Goats

STORY CIRCLE BOOK REVIEWS: This novel will appeal to readers looking for hope when all seems hopeless. (Reviewer-Ann McCauley September 21, 2020)
Barb writes: Rich in Michigan lore, the book takes the reader in hand to walk the shores of the sandy beaches of Michigan and surf the waves of the great lake.
Macy says: This book keeps you on the edge of your seat in a gentle, empathetic way.
Colleen likes: The writing made me feel as if I was right there in Sanctuary.
