Smoking Flax

Disney's The Kid meets Back to the Future--Southern Style

Almost nineteen-year-old Reed Anderson wants to belong in a world where he hasn’t always fit. Three days after graduation, he decides to ride a bus back to Louisiana and deal with the events of his thirteenth summer once and for all. Back then, he’d stood up to his abusive Pa, protecting Momma and his sister, taking control of his life. But who was the faded image of the child he saw that day? Aunt Lula predicted his life would shift and change. Something about space-time-continuum and the fourth dimension? He tucks her words into his heart. If he survives the shift, this could be his chance to start over. But the ghost child haunts his dreams. Even though six years have passed, does he want to confront the lies he’s always believed?

“Some stories capture your mind, some your heart. Smoking Flax is one of those rare stories that does both to great degree. Yes, it helps that this is my kind of novel, but it’s the unexpected twists, the depth of emotion, and the contemplative path Hallmark takes us down that makes this a novel not to be missed.”
