"[Jessie's] passion is magnetic right to the end of the story. Alexander does a good job of fleshing out all of the other major characters, but the novel belongs to dangerous, deadly Jessie... A richly atmospheric tale about two very different women seeking their ideal loves." -from the Kirkus Review of Silk: Caroline's Story.

Literary Titan Thrice Honors 'Tapestry: A Lowcountry Rapunzel'
"This astonishing novel grabs readers in the first chapter and takes them on a journey that makes it impossible to put the book down. The characters are well developed. Even the minor characters stand out for their parts in this novel... Tapestry: A Lowcountry Rapunzel is a dramatic coming of age and family saga novel exploring the 1920's women rights movement through the eyes of two young women and the romance of unrequited love."-excerpt from Literary Titan review.

Kirkus Review of 'Tapestry: A Lowcountry Rapunzel'
"Alexander’s prose ably replicates the rhythms of speech—and life—in the 1920s South... readers will find themselves hooked by the more dramatic elements of this coming-of-age tale... A richly embroidered story of early 20th-century rural life in South Carolina." -from the Kirkus Review of 'Tapestry: A Lowcountry Rapunzel'.
