I really enjoyed this book! I am a distant relative of the author and grew up in the southern Illinois area featured in this book. Our beloved relative "Oscar Thomas" makes an appearance as a minor character, but I was thrilled to run into him in this story. I loved the time I got to spend with this book and the familiar setting. This is a wonderful debut novel!
