I loved Stars of Alabama: A Novel by Sean of the South.
During this time apart I discovered an author new to me and a book I fell in love with. Stars of Alabama: A Novel by Sean of the South. Reading it made me do something I rarely do which is BUY a book. Other than my Word Weaver friends or a few books here or there, I normally utilize the library for my reading habit. They only had one book by Sean so I had no choice but to buy some. I prefer books that I can turn the pages, a real book, but I bought a couple Kindle by Sean to get me through till the real thing comes.
Amazon says about this book: “Sean Dietrich—also known as Sean of the South—weaves together a humorous and heartfelt tale about the dignity of humanity and the value of enduring hope.
One child preacher traveling across the plains.
One young woman with a mysterious touch.
Two old friends, their baby, and their bloodhound.
And all the stars that shine above them.”
It may help if you’re Southern to really understand the characters and the depth of the story, but really, I think anyone would love it. I’m actually thinking of rereading it while the library has extended the time you can keep books because of the pandemic.
If you’ve ever felt like you can’t catch a break in your life, you’ll identify with these characters. If you’ve ever felt that your heart is going to break because of loss, you’ll keep turning pages. If you’ve ever needed a father-figure and found one in the most unlikely place, you’ll love the ones found here.
Thought not a “Christian genre” it is deeply spiritual in places.
I’m probably a fan for life, Sean of the South! Thanks for bringing beauty from another era of time to my heart.
Take a fiction vacation from the chaos of the world. READ THIS BOOK!
