"John Grisham meets Jodi Picoult." --Booklist on In Doubt
"Campbell draws the reader into an ugly world in her excellent take on the many lines between right and wrong." --RT Book Reviews on In Doubt
When She Came Home was a Finalist at the 20th Annual San Diego Book Awards.
"Like Barbara Delinsky, Campbell entertains as well as informs as she wraps a novel around a timely social issue. While many authors have tackled post-traumatic stress disorder in recent years, Campbell puts her own spin on it by telling a PTSD story from the point of a female Iraq War veteran...Plenty of contemporary food for thought" --Booklist on When She Came Home
"A heart-wrenching novel that deals with a number of important social issues, including the actions of private contractors in war, the treatment of women in the armed services, domestic violence and school bullying." --Kirkus on When She Came Home
