  • Review from Back to Books

    The Priest and the Peaches was a complete home run. I don’t know why I connected so well with this book, but I did. I could relate to the characters and found myself excited to keep reading and finding out what happened. http://one-chapter-ahead.blogspot.com/2012/01/reviewer-kristen-author-larry-peterson.html

  • Review from BlogCritics

    The Priest and the Peaches is one of the most delightful Christian books on today’s market. While it is aimed toward young adults, I must admit that I thoroughly enjoyed Larry Peterson’s portrayal of the incredible problems young adults and/or children face after they have lost both parents. http://blogcritics.org/books/article/book-review-the-priest-and-the
