Southern Girls

Since I am a Carolina girl, the title, Gone South, intrigued me. The author Meg Moseley was new to me but I loved the cover-bare feet and blue jeans peeking out from under a Victorian gown. This is story of grace and mercy with a hint of romance. Tish, Letitia McComb, leaps blindly into buying the ancestral home in Noble, Alabama. Sometimes you do not get the reception you expect with you try to ingratiate yourself into the social working of a small southern town; especially if your last name is McComb. Add to the mix the town prodigal, a young life torn by misunderstanding, and you have a smash hit. The string of character from the town and the unpredictable reactions to Mel and Tish makes for an interesting read. This book was given to me for review by Waterbrook Multnomah Press.

Delighfully Descriptive Dynamics

I had read Deadline and thought it was a great way to illustrate heaven and hell. Later I was so excited to share Alcorn's Heaven book that I taught it last summer to residents at a nursing home. I received this e-book trilogy from Waterbrook Press for review. Dominion was too much! It gave too much information on too many topics. It was informative about gangs and tagging. Then you mix in the folks in heaven, guardians and in depth descriptions. Then loveable Mr. Abernathy and his descriptions of the injustice to black baseball players. The brutality of slavery was heart breaking. It was unlike Alcorn's other books. I wondered where the author gained his perspective for the character of Clarence. The book seemed to go on forever. Deception,the last in the trilogy, was written from the viewpoint of Ollie who was such an amusing character. I realized along the way that I had read it several years ago but couldn't recall the ending. It was almost as good as Deadline! Alcorn does a great job in these mysteries. You can never guess the murderer!
