Thomas (The Finder of Forgotten Things) excels at taking a little-known slice of history and bringing it to life, similar to authors Elizabeth Camden and Laura Frantz.
In a hardscrabble 1930s setting, complex characters wrestle with justice, mercy, inequality, honesty, and the fact that they are all prodigals still searching for the way home. Loudin Thomas (The Right Kind of Fool) delivers a stunning tale of one of the worst industrial disasters in U.S. history, underlined with a moral imperative to love one’s neighbor that still hits home today.
Fans of historical Southern fiction will be drawn to this title, as will readers of Lisa Wingate and Karen Witemeyer. The author’s followers will find this latest offering comparable to her previous work.
Thomas's (A Tapestry of Secrets) easy prose, flavored with Appalachian dialect, light tone, and steady pace as the relationship between Larkin and Judd slowly blooms, make this an enjoyable historical romance.
Fans of Karen Kingsbury's feel-good stories of heartfelt lessons will love Thomas's debut. They'll need a box of tissues and to be willing to hunker down, because they won't want to miss a single word. Once in a while a new author comes along with a work that makes you sit up and take notice. Thomas has crafted a tale of this proportion.
