A Place Called Wiregrass

Rating:
Summary: A Must Read
Review: A Place Called Wiregrass kept me captivated from cover to cover. It's rare to find a book you really can't put down. I was drawn into the life of Erma Lee by the strong story line, vivid imagery, and powerful language. Her journey from a destitute life to one of independence was very uplifting. The relationships she formed along the way were inspirational. I felt like I knew Erma Lee, Gerald, Cher, and Miss Claudia. I will definitely look for Michael Morris' next book.

Summary: A touching story!
Review: Erma Lee is an abused wife who runs off to Wiregrass with her granddaughter Cher. The story is told from Erma's point of view, so you understand why she does what she does even if it doesn't make sense. The relationships and chracters are the heart of this book. I was very touched by them and I could have almost cried at the ending. This novel is well deserving of the Christy Award that it received.
