| 2003-04-22 | DuBose, Sara | Review:
Where Hearts Live There is something special about the Southern Writer, a special bond with storytelling, a unique style in the weaving of the craft of storytelling. Sara DuBose is as good a southern writer as one would expect to find. Her unique and heartwarming book, Where Hearts Live, is a gem. She paints a picture of Chantilly, Alabama in the early 1950's that changed my mental picture of the deep south being all swamp and heat. |

Everlasting Mountains As I sat down to begin my read of Ms. Gerlach's sequel to "Thorns In Eden", I sat in anticipation of the words before me, wondering how the author would be able to pen a work finer than the one before. I was not disappointed ... The author begins the story with our young heroine Rebecah finally standing on the soil where her beloved Nash is. |
