Very good review! After reading the sample I felt it was so well written, and the little boy touched my heart, I bought the book to follow the rest of the story. Congrats to the author on BOTD. Really liked the cover also.

Your excellent review describes both the theme of the book and the author's writing style. Your description and warning leaves the reader well informed for his decision of whether or not to read the book.

What is the most special thing I did today- I was MYSELF. Happy and in love and unapologetically myself.

Great review. A book about a poor boy growing up in the poverty stricken south is definitely a book for me. I think looking at life through the eyes of Drew will open the eyes of people. Congratulations on being BOTD!

I don't usually read historical fiction books but this book might be an exception. I read the sample from Amazon and it was really interesting but the mature scenes in the book was sort of a shocker for me. But anyways, great review on the book!

This sounds like an interesting book. The first two chapters let me look in the lives of Drew and his mother. Your review just makes me want to continue reading this novel.

Thank you for an honest review! I read this before I read the sample in Amazon ad I just know that this book is right up my alley! It had a glimpse of Drew's life and I loved him instantly. The curse words might be a bit of a bother, but I think I'll get through it.
