Nancy’s book drew me into the story so deeply that I feel her characters are people I have known all my life. She gave history a living voice through Jason Lee’s dad’s experiences in the Civil Rights Movement and through Uncle Mooks, a veteran injured in the Vietnamese War. Nancy’s first novel is a canvas on which the characters, setting, and historical events are interwoven and blended to create a totally absorbing and beautifully complete picture of love and personal growth. Remarkable! Dfjell
