Book review: "The Pecan Man"

I read a book yesterday for my current book club round, "The Pecan Man", by Cassie Dandridge Selleck.  As far as I can find out, this is her one and only book published.  I definitely hope to see more from her in the future!  This book is a gem!

The story takes place in the South, in 1976.  It is a story of pain and tragedy, but also of compassion and sacrifice.  It follows one woman's road to discovery of herself and her motivation for her "works of charity."  It is an insightful examination that should be considered by us all!

I recommend this book for your reading list!  Although some of the content is mature, it is NOT explicit, but discretely handled.  I can only recall reading one "bad word" in the whole book.
