  "WOW" by FriendshipSisters (see profile) 10/24/14

WOW! What a great story. Loved the way in which author told her story, felt like I was sitting on a great front porch with a glass of sweet tea, discussing a situation with a dear friend. Characters were dynamic.

Recommend to anyone that wants to read a great story. Short but powerful.

A short simple story...until it isn't. Enjoyed the twists and turns. The honesty of the narrator gave the story weight. Enjoyed it very much.

Quick read, slight twist at end. Our club all enjoyed this book that focused on a woman\\\'s growth as she aged.

  "Easy read, hard to put down" by hhrogue (see profile) 01/19/16

Good things come in small packages. This little book hits a home run. Lots of story lines going on that all tie to the main story. The character development is excellent. A story set in the 70's regarding, race, murder, lies, & cover-ups and how that impacts Ora's life forever.

Shorter book than a lot of book club reads. The story was well written and the characters were easy to follow.

The Pecan Man is a wonderful book full of interesting characters and narrated by such a quirky woman

 
  "The Pecan Man" by jadmw (see profile) 07/06/16

Short and sweet, but it's story and subject stay with you for a long time. Very insightful of race relations in the South in the mid-late 1960's
yet in a very kind way.

 
  "The power of strength in human relationships" by Chickim4 (see profile) 08/17/16

One of the best books books we have read this year. It will stay with you for a very long time. Try doing the immersion reading, the Southern accent of the narrator really draws you into the story.
