"Having just read “There’s a Girl in the Closet” by Houston’s Mary Daniel, I want to praise her for her book. She skillfully weaves the timeline of her story, full of characters, often struggling with addiction, while making sure the reader follows along without missing a beat. The protagonist, Claire, puts her family first and fights fiercely to protect them, always selflessly. The story builds quickly, gaining momentum like a fast-moving train, sliding along the hard steel rails of life. Some are spared, others are not. But the story is also about the man she allows herself to fall deeply in love with, something she finally allows for herself, but it’s complicated. Her love for her family and her devout faith delivers her. The story comes to a crescendo as Hurricane Harvey hits the Gulf Coast, swallowing everything in its path. Mary’s story is a work of fiction, but as every fiction writer will tell you, there are indelible footprints of the author left in every piece of fiction. Take the time, it’s an intense read."

"The charerters of There's a Girl in the Closet came alive, as I lived their lives through their eyes. I saw the devastation that drugs had on the addicted users and everyone around them as they fought this chemical and spiritual warfare, as I once did with my own son. This book is an eye opener, "a light in the darkness" for those who need or want enlightenment of what dangers lurk around us, and how to combat them. This very descriptive, action-packed book should be made into a movie that would inform the world and keep you on the edge of your seat!"

"There’s a Girl in the Closet paints a hard, harrowing, and honest picture of the world of addiction. This heart-wrenching perspective is wrapped in a tale of devoted friendship, a mother’s sacrifice, and love that endures through suffering, tragedy, and redemption."

"This courageous work, masterfully written, is devoted to closing flanks in a march against narcotics. With bold honesty and a profound understanding of the horrors faced by those who remain in a dark place, "There's A Girl In The Closet" shows us how love and divine intervention can triumph against all odds."

"An excellent example of what it is like to live with someone you love who is in the clutches of addiction. Beautifully told in a way that grips you from the beginning and has you fully invested in the characters as the tragedies and triumphs unfold. Reading this book makes one realize you are not alone in this world when dealing with family who seem lost, and that is an incredible feat as such situations can feel totally isolating. If you've battled these battles, or if you want to understand better the battles others have and are going through, you'll want to read this one for sure."

"This book doesn't beat around the bush about the horrors of addiction and those responsible for making drugs available. There's so much truth, so cleverly woven into a heart-wrenching story, it's hard to believe it's not a true-to-life story. This author has her hand on the throttle of what's pushing illicit drugs into our lives. Not for the faint of heart but if you truly want to know the fate of those we love who are addicted, this may give you courage to help you fight to save them."
