title: The Soul Retrieval: A Novel
author:  Ann W. Jarvie 
description: "The author has a gift for crafting striking images: "His silhouette against the bright morning light was a man-shaped eclipse, his muscled edges luminous and blurred by the smoldering tobacco" ... "Cotton grew so abundant and white it looked like the angels had sprinkled powdered sugar on fields of small green plants." <br />  Jarvie also strikes an impressive balance with the dialogue ... The overall result is a satisfyingly realistic, pleasurable read ... consistently evocative ... (with) sharp characterization, and haunting, gorgeous imagery."<br />- Kirkus Reviews<br /><br />"Riveting ... <em>The Soul Retrieval </em>will take readers on a journey filled with mystery, suspense, love and hope ...The book tells two stories, one of the past and one of the present ... When the two stories collide in the present, the reader is placed on a roller coaster of emotions."<br />- Pacific Book Review<br /> <br /> "A masterpiece ... I look forward to much more from Ann W. Jarvie."<br />- Paranormal Romance &amp; Authors That Rock<br /><br />"An amazing book! This author will make you escape right into the story and characters before you even realize you're there! Easy to follow and hard to put down once you start! While reading you will find yourself searching within yourself as well..."<br />- Undercover Book Reviews<br /> <br />"Enticingly written, Jarvie creates a plot designed with several 'shock and awe' moments ... But most of all, it portrays the boldness within to seek inspiration and truth."<br />- C. Rodriguez of Readers' Favorite<br /> <br /> "The writing is top notch with some charm thrown in. One of my favorite phrases was 'His smile was as sweet as melted milk chocolate...'"<br />- Lilac Reviews
