<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A story about a summer of discontent, change, and dangerous mysteries in a small Southern Wiregrass town.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Reminiscent of the stories and styles of Harper Lee, Sue Monk Kidd, and Jan Karon, Pam Webber's <i>The Wiregrass</i> is an extraordinary tale about a magical time in an ordinary place full of lovable and unlovable characters. Infused with laughter, tears, love, loss, and hope, the story follows fourteen-year-old cousins Nettie, J.D. Eric, and Sam as they navigate the summer of their discontent, struggle with the physical and emotional turbulence of puberty and disappearing childhood, feel the excitement of first love, and run for their lives after they uncover an evil secret hidden in the shadows of the small town they love. Their story promises to stay with you a lifetime.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"There are deep southern traditions at work here, of memory, courage, sweetness, and sadness. This is a brave book at the same time it's complex and gentle, and the way it honors a sense of time and place is truly remarkable."<br> --David L. Robbins, New York Times best-selling author of <i>Scorched Earth</i> and <i>The Empty Quarter</i> <p/> "Webber has crafted a summer setting that is both magical and dangerous in this profound coming-of-age story. I laughed out loud. I held my breath. I anxiously pressed on for 'just one more page' (page after page, after page) and I cried. She has touched me on many levels in this, her first novel. Its ending has haunted me for days since finishing it. It is a book I'll not soon forget. For this reviewer, <i>The Wiregrass</i> was reminiscent of <i>To Kill a Mockingbird</i>, <i>Tom Sawyer</i>, and <i>Of Mice and Men</i>, yet all the while it was its very own unique story written with a large measure of tenderness and grace. What a privilege to have the opportunity to read this book that is surely destined to become a best-seller!"<br> --Lee Ambrose, Story Circle Book Reviews<br>
