A truly gifted natural writer, Renée Hodges weaves stories so humane and so universal the reader cannot help but be moved toward greater empathy. Fans of Charles Martin and Chris Fabry will find their new reading home within her pages.  Immersive, warm and utterly appealing, Hodges makes you feel as if she has pulled up a chair and is relaying a story to you as an old friend would.  With deeply resonant themes and a wonderful historical sensibility, Renée Hodges is an author to watch.

Renée Hodges crafts an inspiring story with captivating characters. She stirs a recipe of racial and personal tension while topping the tale with a dollop of rich Southern flavor. I recommend her heartwarming novel to those seeking a message within a fictional treat.
