Some early reviews on Self Portrait:

"Self Portrait is a story of self-forgiveness, self-discovery, self-reflection, and self-acceptance. This story leaves readers contemplating their own humanity and humility, as we watch the characters reveal their deepest fears and their greatest loves in personal quests for goodness and truth. Self Portrait by Jim Sano delivers in every aspect." Mary Jo Thayer, best-selling and award-winning author of Close to the Soul.

"I was hooked from page one. The mark of an outstanding author is drawing readers into a genre they wouldn't normally read. That's exactly what Jim Sano did for me with the latest book in his Fr. Tom series, Self Portrait. Great job! Sano has made me a fan." Award-winning author and journalist Amanda Lauer.

"A memorable story for our times, when terrible events call into question life-long habits, forcing us to look again and consider the world—and ourselves—in a whole new light." A. K. Frailey, Author of historical and science fiction.
