Meet the Ashkettle Boys.

Read What People Are Saying About the Ashkettle Boys book series …


“What a literary piece of art, the love between the three brothers (Sonny, Bo and Dack) with what they’ve gone through wrenched my heart. I was literally absorbed with every word, every page, couldn’t wait to finish it and yet didn’t want to finish it. I downloaded this book as a thriller, my God, this is more than a thriller. This is so much more than that. This is the feel of Oliver Twist.” — S.


“Joseph Conrad once wrote, “My task…is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel—it is, before all, to make you see.” Goetz does all of that and more in ASHKETTLE CRAZY—she makes you care, care desperately about these three brothers, their love and support for one another, and their heroic effort to transcend the terrors inflicted upon them.” –D.B.


“I love this book. It’s beautifully written in a way that makes you feel like you’re sitting in the author’s kitchen, listening to it being told, and the story that unfolds goes deeper than I’d expected from reading the blurb or looking at the cover. All of the characters are beautifully word-painted, and I didn’t want to put it down because how the author wrote those kids makes you care for them from the first chapters on.” — EMH


“There’s no way you’ll come away from this book without feeling a little less lonely, a little less misunderstood, and a little less like the world is personally out to get you. Because if these characters can get through their troubles, there’s hope for all of us. This is a book to read, to ponder, and to absorb. — Amazon Customer


“The author captures her characters with brilliant understanding. You feel as if you actually know them and hurt when they hurt and are happy when they are.” — CDWB


“What a powerful book! Dack Ashkettle’s struggle with PTSD, caused by severe abuse and other trauma, affects his brothers, too, and this story takes readers on a journey as the young men work through issues from their past and try to find healing together.” — MTR


“An in-depth look into depression, PTSD, and the scars abused people carry on the inside.” — J.


“I thoroughly enjoyed the first 2 books in this series but THIS one…. I LIVED it! From the very beginning…. I was WITH Sonny as he stood at the top of the gorge looking down at the river. Dack’s glass dome…. I was IN it!” –J.S.
