Customer Reviews

A true visionary

Stacy Dean Campbell takes you back to a time when life was simple, yet restrictive to some. One can truly get a sense for the life and injustices that were ever present during the depression. His writing imagery gives the reader a true sense of being there. If you are looking for a page turning true to life drama, this is the book to read. And the music CD which accompanies the book adds the finishing touch to an already moving experience. It sets the backdrop, and even after reading the book, you'll find yourself listening to the music for everyday enjoyment, always remembering which tune reflects different overtones of the story. Stacy is a truly talented writer and musician, a true visionary, and one who leaves an imprint on the heart and soul. He most definitely is one to watch.

Captivating

Few stories captivate with such escalating pace as Stacy Dean Campbell's "Cottonwood". In the tradition of Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird", this novel weaves its characters & their lives with such believable detail, one wonders how it could be fiction. I've always been one for great Beginnings & Endings and this one delivers, all the way thru the last page. If old-fashioned chill bumps, penetrating reflections and surprising finales are of interest, "Cottonwood" is a must-read.
