Beth Wiseman Recommends: The Life We Bury

Allen Eskens is a new author to me, and The Life We Bury is a touching story about a college student—Joe Talber—who interviews a dying Vietnam Veteran—Carl Iverson—who is also a convicted murderer. The story unravels in a way that kept me turning the pages late into the night. I also appreciated the realistic way that the author portrayed Joe’s dysfunctional family and his relationship with his autistic brother. A very good read.

Beth Wiseman Recommends: What She Left Behind

Two strong, complex young women, living in different times, are each confronted with many of the same issues. The story jumps back and forth from the 1930’s to the 1990’s with parallel story lines, but just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, you’ll find you are wrong.

Beth Wiseman Recommends: The Pecan Man

I believe that to be a better writer, I need to read the works of other authors. I’ve always enjoyed reading, so this is not an arduous task for me. I plan to share with y’all some of my favorites. This month I chose:

The Pecan Man by Cassie Dandridge Selleck

The Pecan Man by Cassie Dandridge Selleck

The Pecan (pee-can) Man is an old homeless black man living in the woods near Ora Lee Beckworth, who narrates the story. When the sherriff’s son is found stabbed, Ora Lee befriends and defends the man she knows as Eddie who is charged with the murder. Set in Florida in the summer of 1976, this story is delightfully unpredictable.
