“From the back of the book, I summed it all up: ‘What would you do when prayers seem to go unanswered, faith has slipped away, evil stalks, and you find yourself forever dancing on shattered glass?’ If you really like a good mystery and romance all in one, then this will be the book for you.” –LibraryThing.com Reviewer

“One of the best books I’ve read this year…The plot thickened with every chapter…a book that alerts you to a very real danger of our present generation, a story that stirs you to your depths…” –The Suspense Zone
“Dancing on Glass was absolutely riveting. Ewen did such a masterful job of drawing me into the story that I simply couldn’t wait to see how it unfolded. Her writing is beautiful and evocative–I could almost feel the humidity in New Orleans, taste the beignets on Jackson Square, and feel the shattering blows Phillip delivered in his alcohol-laced rages. And the last several chapters? Honestly, I can’t remember when I physically felt the suspense the way I did in the last few chapters of Dancing on Glass! Rather than just empathetically observing Amalise’s terror, I felt it. People, that’s good writing.” –Cindy Swanson, Radio Personality & Book Reviewer

“Written in gorgeous prose, Pamela Binnings Ewen’s remarkable novel enthralled me like no other has for a very long time.

I loved it. –Bev Marshall, author of Walking Through Shadows, Right As Rain, and Hot Fudge Sundae Blues.

The Moon in the Mango Tree is unlike any missionary story you’ll ever read. Like a haunting song, we cannot rush this journey and yet we wish we could in order to discover before it’s too late if Babs can find spiritual meaning in her life; if the unsettled desires steamed by the richness of the roaring twenties will lead her back to love or pull her apart. Truly a beautifully crafted story told with music that sings still in my ears.” –Jane Kirkpatrick, author of A Mending at the Edge, A Tendering in the Storm, A Clearing in the Wild, and many others.
“This novel is filled with the mysterious beauty of Siam, the flamboyance of Paris, and the easy, rolling life of Rome before World War II. It’s a love story filled with adventure and sacrifice. Ewen tells an interesting, well-written, and totally captivating story here. You can’t help but enjoy it.” –Rita Quinton, TheCompulsiveReader.com
“You feel the oppressive heat of the jungle, the furious love between a man and a woman, and the feelings of loneliness from living with a man who is bound by duty to give his all to his patients while having little left to give at home. Placed in a time of fun, loud parties, and impressive party guests, The Moon in the Mango Tree makes you feel like you have stepped back in time and right into the action. This book will leave an impression on your mind and an imprint on your heart.” –Kathy Fisher, The Romance Readers Connection
(Formerly Walk Back The Cat)
“Looking for a religious thriller? Mandeville resident Pamela Binnings Ewen’s Walk Back the Cat (Broadman and Holman), may be just the ticket. Ewen has crafted her tale around the Shroud of Turin and the extensive investigations into its authenticity; her plot draws on an impressive range of information and insight from archaeology, physics, art and philosophy. All this hangs on the plot of an ambitious church leader, Archbishop Wesley Bright, who is shepherding the church toward destruction after his own childhood crisis of faith.
Walk Back the Cat is an impressive debut,though parts of the plot seem a bit unlikely. But her characters are well-drawn and interesting. And watch for the guy reading Confederacy of Dunces, a bit of down-home humor.” –New Orleans Times Picayune
“An engrossing suspense novel involving time shifts, mysterious characters, and the Shroud of Turin.” –Christianbook.com
“It’s hard to read this book and not get involved. I found my face wet with tears as I read the last few chapters. Days later, I still find the characters fresh in my mind. This book has twists that aid in building the suspense. The characters are more than mere words, they seem to come alive on the pages. I felt that I knew them personally…This is Christian fiction at its best.” –Readerviews.com.
“This book will surprise and delight, and if you’re like me, will leaving you looking forward to her next book.” –The Suspense Zone.com
“A real page turner.” –Travel Host Magazine
“Her book is a faith journey that is an eye opener and a heart warmer.” –The Catholic Free Press
“Ewen’s book is a must read for those interested in seriously looking at the historical evidence for Jesus.” –Gospel Herald, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
“Ewen offers the jury new and exciting archeological, historical and documentary evidence, scientific and medical evidence, and evidence presented by the arts and of statistical probabilities, all fascinating in its cumulative impact.” –The Texas Episcopalian
“[Faith on Trial] builds a case by linking each piece of evidence to another, like a puzzle, until a solid picture appears.” –Denver Catholic Register
“Now that moot courts have retried such notables as Lizzie Borden and John Wilkes Booth, who’s next? The author, a partner at Baker & Botts L.L.P., puts the very divinity of Christ in the dock, in an attempt to lead readers down the path she herself traveled from agnosticism to belief. While it may be that her faith foreordained the verdict, her discussion of related legal issues, such as the admissibility of evidence and the credibility of witnesses, is firmly grounded.” –The National Law Journal
“[Ewen] carefully sticks to the rules and traditions of the law, yet without slipping into obtuse language or legalese, and continually keeps the presentation in context while bringing in arcane elements, such as the archeological examination in 1986 of an ancient fishing vessel found in the Sea of Galilee and determined by radiocarbon dating to have been used between A.D. 20 and A.D. 40.” –Midland Reporter-Telegram
“Faith On Trial has no dogma. It treats the question “did the resurrection occur or didn’t it?” the same way federal courts treat evidence in civil cases.” –Augusta, GA. Chronicle
“In a superbly documented legal analysis, Pamela Binnings Ewen argues convincingly that the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John represent eyewitness accounts that the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus did occur. She uses archaeological and scientific evidence, much of which has only been available in the last few decades, to show that almost every event surrounding the fundamental testimony of the Gospels can be verified today.” –James A. Baker III, former Secretary of State
“Attorney Ewen brings the question of Christ’s divinity to a new level in her riveting search for truth.” –Christianbook.com
