An endearing tale of trust/distrust, love/hate, dispair, poverty and family bonds. I would have given this story 5 stars, but the "flashback"(even though I knew it was coming) was just a bit too graphic and not in tune with the rest of the story. I truly loved the characters in the story and thought the bond between Tucker and Ella was endearing. The author made the characters in the story real. I enjoyed this book and am going to give the next in the series a chance. I am so glad to find this author. I am an avid reader and enjoy so many different types of books, but his book has everything. I love the character, Tucker. She had me crying and then laughing. The author has done an excellent job with all the characters and especially with Tucker. The language is so southern and country. The author doesn't just drop the g off ing words to try and create a southern accent. The plot moved along at a good clip. There is so much depth in the book that it's obvious the author writes from the heart. I was so impressed with this novel that I immediately downloaded several others after finishing this one. I can't say enough good things about this book. It is a clean read. The author doesn't resort to padding the book with porn, but there is love in it. It is also about deep friendship. I highly recommend this book.
What do You think about Tucker's Way (2012)?
book was recomended to me by a friend.It is very different but great.
