Customer Reviews

A well-rounded author

Having read some of Mr. Cunningham's regional non-fiction, I was pleased to learn of his historical fiction work "Children of Promise". Set in the town of Currentville before the creation of Lake Barkley, this novel tells stories of a group of boys growing up in a town without a future. Mr. Cunningham's talent for painting with words makes one feel like part of the story. The format in which this book was written is unique and more interesting than the traditonal sequence. He also did a very good job of combining the true aspects of time period into the well-woven details of the fictional plot. I simply couldn't stop reading it.
