If I had to choose one word to describe Joseph’s Pittman’stown and residents it would be Americana. Thank God I don’t have to choosebecause then I couldn’t tell you that no one depicts small town America quitelike him. Where the characters quirky and conventional alike shine like noothers. Where hope reins supreme as he once again gives readers a Christmastale full of love, loss, and hope. We not only get to reunite with thecharacters he’s introduced us to but we meet some new and wonderful folkswho’ve come to different yet equally important forks in their road through lifewho’re changed dramatically by this community of caring and committedresidents. If you’re looking for a feel good novel, your look is over. Mr.Pittman, I can’t wait until your next tale from bucolic Linden Corners.Buy the book here, visit the author's website here.
