Editorial Reviews

"This was the perfect read for a rainy afternoon. Once I started this quirky little tale, I was drawn into the lives of these people and couldn't wait to see how it would all turn out. It was very interesting and unique and the author's style of writing kept the plot moving quickly, compelling you to turn the pages. I'd definitely read more by this author. If you're looking for something interesting to read over a lunch hour or two, you won't go wrong with this one."

"Wow, when I first started reading the story, I thought this was charming "slice of life" of the southern, rural fifties. I was enjoying it and prepared to be charmed reading about a bygone era. Then, wham, the story took a whole other turn and just blew me away! I absolutely do not want to give anything away, so, by golly, I won't! I will say, however, that I absolutely loved the story, despite a few tears, and think it was just brilliant. In fact, I love how it unfolded and Shirley Temple Johnson is now one of my favorite characters, although I really like mama and Cornpone...Five stars all the way!"

"Loved the story from the beginning to the end, read nonstop. Make me have deep thoughts about life, family and relationships between siblings."
