From Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards, November 4, 2020: THE ADORED by T.R. Connolly

"Connolly has created a fully-realized, sweeping epic of a book. The story is intricate, well plotted, and satisfying. This book is BIG - in terms of character cast, setting, time lapse, and commentary. A common way the author set up a chapter was to start with the macro view: a big-scale history or a sweeping shot of a setting. Nearly every time it was brilliantly done.

I loved how the book took on large societal issues like racial equity, the prison system, the overreach of corporations. It was always personal, real, and visceral. The voice and writing style are outstanding!"
