Customer Reviews

A real gem

Cracker Gothic is a finely crafted memoir that intertwines the author's experience in managing the care of an aging parent while also revisiting her small town past. The narrative flows between the gut-wrenching personal details and the quirky, often fascinating "truth is stranger than fiction" local details and characters, feeling loosely connected at first but ultimately knitting itself together in a manner befitting the people and place depicted. I highly recommend this to all, but especially to those who love a story well-told.
