Review Quotes:
"Wing is simply wonderful... A beautiful story that should be required reading for all humans living on our fragile planet." - Richard Wainwright, author
"[Wing is] a work that promotes a true conservation ethic, revolving around the mutually dependent relationship between people and nature." - John Sawhill, President & CEO Emeritus, The Nature Conservancy
"Morano challenges the reader to think, feel, and enjoy. He pulls out, from our own everyday existence, the beautiful and dangerous world of birds, fish, and more without drenching those worlds in the violence that nature holds inherit; Morano never dips into the saccharine, however, and it is this balancing act that spotlights his talent as a writer and the sincere, adult heart behind all that he writes." - The Brilliant Review
"...a warm story...a great deal of imagination...a good job of pulling the reader into the story...I can see [these] novels some day as possible Disney movies." - Will Norton, Jr., Dean, University of Nebraska College of Journalism and Mass Communications
"'A Wing and a Prayer' was one of the best books I read this year. John Morano has a very unique writing style. He is a professor at Monmouth University but transforms himself into full-author mode with his descriptive words and his sentence structure." - 5 stars, Amazon Review
