Advance Praise for None Left to Tell
“Noelle W. Ihli’s books are a rare find, and None Left to Tell is no exception. At once an edge-of-your-seat thriller, a historical reckoning, and a powerful and poignant commentary on the human condition, this book grabs you from the very first page and never lets go. Don’t miss it!” —Bonnie Traymore, bestselling author of The Stepfamily.
“A little-known, fascinating chronicle based in fact that will keep you riveted as you cheer for heart-wrenching journeys to discover new lives, love, and forgiveness.” —Deborah J Ledford, award-winning author of Redemption and Havoc
“This book is more than a thriller: it's a fierce reckoning with history. Get ready to have your nerves shredded, your heart broken, and your mind blown. You're never going to forget this stunning tale of survival.” —Faith Gardner, author of The Prediction
“One of the most gut-wrenching books I have ever read … Every story this author creates tops the next, and her talent for writing exceeds expectations every time.” —Galayda Book Reviews
“I am so grateful to the author for bringing this dark, disturbing story to light. These women will live in my head for a long time, and their resilience, grief, and at times, defiance, will live within me as well.” —Netgalley review, Carrie S., Librarian
“When I first heard the plot of this historical fiction novel, I went to Wikipedia to read facts about the Massacre. I thought that might prepare me for what would be a tragically sad book. However, nothing could have prepared me for this thoroughly researched and heartfelt reimagining of the Mountain Meadows Massacre.” —Netgalley review, L.G. Librarian
