Advance Reviews for A Noble Paradise - "A genuine family drama that might inspire and encourage other single parents. The book succeeds through Crawford's talent at characterization, dialogue and scene-setting. Crawford consistently and plausibly depicts mundane moments, such as a paper-mill workday . or the logistics and judgments of divorced parenting, without ever losing the reader. The story, which seems to have been inspired by real-life experiences, is never tedious or self-indulgent and may ring true for many readers." - Kirkus Reviews ". A personal experience of a single dad and the meaning of fatherly love in the face of staggering threats to stability. this book is a watershed about survival of good over evil, love of children over false accusations, and of the true meaning of parenting.

It also happens to be a very fine novel! Highly recommended." - Grady Harp, Author WAR SONGS, Art Historian for PoetsArtists, Art of Man, Vitruvian Lens "James Crawford employs . a practiced hand . More so than most novels about single parents, divorce, or children stuck in the middle, it offers poignant perspectives from different sides while retaining its ultimate focus on the kids. a timeless story made fresh and new by a series of expertly-woven interplays between characters, all cemented by a father with selfless devotion to a family fragmented by divorce and contention." - D.
