My Review 

Wow, This story is amazing. Both books are fantastic. 

This is a job for the cello tape. so what can i tell you..... You need to go and buy these books asap. 

In, In too Deep, Gracie meets and falls for Noah, but he's abusive. 
In, On solid ground this is Gracie's story of healing, and learning. That's as much as I am willing to tell you. 

This story pulled so many emotions from me. I could relate to Gracie and at times I wanted to hold my breath. This story is well written and flows beautifully. There was not any part were i lost interest.  In Too Deep was Michelle's Debut Book, and what a start to a debut book. 

These stories compelled me from the beginning, I felt like I held my breath while reading them. They are fantastic and a must read. 

Michelle is a Upcoming Author and one to watch out for. 
Michelle thank you so much for amazing stories. 

These books both get 5/5 stars and 3/5 for movie moments. 

About The Author

Michelle Kemper Brownlow has been a storyteller her entire life. Her debut was on the high school cheerleading bus granting requests to re-tell her most embarrassing moments for a gaggle of hysterical squadmates.

Earning her Bachelor’s degree from Penn State University in Art Education and then marrying her very own “Jake,” she moved to Binghamton, NY where she taught high school. After having two children she quit work and finished her Master’s degree in Elementary Education at Binghamton University.

The Brownlow family of four moved to Michelle’s hometown of Morgantown, PA while the children were still quite young. A few years after moving, her family grew by one when they welcomed a baby into their home through the gift of adoption. The family still resides in PA, just miles from where that high school cheer bus was parked.

Michelle has been an artist for as long as she can remember, always choosing pencils and crayons over toys and puzzles. As a freelance illustrator, her simple characters play the starring roles in numerous emergent reader books published by Reading Reading Books.

“Writing is my way of making sense of the world. When I give my characters life on the pages I write, it frees up space in my mind to welcome in new stories that are begging to be told,” says Brownlow.
