Welcome to Litsy!

Having just finished The Devil All the Time lead me to want to re-read this treasure. Cash is one of my all time favorites

This book sat on my shelves for the longest time. The title is dark, the cover is dark so my fingers never pulled it from my TBR until now. And really, it was an interesting read. It had a John Grisham-y feel to it. Secondary to the plot was the Sammy Sousa/ Mark McGwire home run race. How in the world did I forget about that!

#ReadTheUSA2020 North Carolina

Gripping novel following two state ward children and their once-deadbeat dad as they try to stay one step ahead of NC criminals. Evocatively set against the Sosa-McGwire Homerun chase of summer 1998.

I really enjoyed this novel. The writing was excellent and very evocative of the time and place where it was set. I read this one for the #litsyreadingchallenge2018, set in the place you were born. I wasn‘t born in Gastonia, but just across the border in SC. We had to go to Gastonia if we wanted to go to a mall when I was a kid. Really looking forward to reading more by this author!

Listening to this on audio while trying to finish a last Christmas hat...I think dad is getting an IOU today😳🎄 I love the child characters narrator, such a sweet southern drawl, she also narrated The Book of Polly, another good one.

A Land More Kind Than Home is a favorite. Can't wait to read This Dark Road to Mercy! ❤️❤️

If you want to be an emotional train wreck at the end of a book, read Wiley Cash. This one's on sale today!

So much love for this. Listen, I will read and reread all of Cash's books forever.

There is less of a grit lit feel here than in his previous book but I think it's an equally strong story. It's about falling from grace, growing up, redemption, and forgiveness. I thought I would connect most with Easter & Ruby, but I most identified with their father, Wade. His story spoke to my heart and also broke it.

The audio has three narrators and ✔️✔️✔️

Wiley Cash writes North Carolina so well and I love love love it. I have Kindle and audio copies of this one, but I need to hold his books in my hand while I read them. So I grabbed a library copy too.

Really like audiobooks with multiple readers. Enjoyed the story. An easy read.
