FIVE STARS... Beulah Land is a brave, refreshing novel that offers a message of hope... Nancy Stewart has produced a tough, courageous novel that belongs on the shelf next to young-adult survival stories like Hatchet and Bridge to Terabithia. [It is] an accurate portrayal of what it's like to grow up in a place where your very existence is challenged, as well as a reminder that the willingness to push on wins the day, every time. Beulah Land is a much needed story of queer resistance and courage in the face of bigotry and intolerance. --Foreword Reviews Nancy Stewart writes from the heart about a young woman of true grit in Beulah Land. Violette Sinclair, shaped by the culture of the Ozarks where she struggles to create her own selfhood, will not be limited by circumstance and definition by others. Stewart tells Violette's story with grace, vigor, and charm. Violette Sinclair wins through, and so does Nancy Stewart in creating this powerful tale of a young woman's personal 'favored land of Beulah.' --Gerald Duff, Author of Playing Custer and Nashville Burning In Beulah Land, Nancy Stewart has crafted a winning combination--a fast-moving plot, and a fierce heroine worth rooting for! --Shannon Hitchcock, Author of Ruby Lee & Me
