Stork Bite

De: L.K. Simonds

Narrado por: Sharell Palmer

Caddo Parish, 1913. On an October morning, a Klansman confronts 17-year-old David Walker at a hidden oxbow lake where he has gone to hunt. David accidentally kills the man and hides the crime. His determination to protect his family from reprisal drives him far from home and into manhood.

Shreveport, 1927. Cargie (rhymes with Margie) Barre and Mae Compton are two vastly different young women, but both are defying convention to reach for their dreams. The men in Cargie’s and Mae’s lives help and hinder them in more ways than one. After years in hiding, David Walker finally resurfaces, and we discover the past is never as far from the present as it seems.

Wonderful!

Wonderful! From start to finish, the performance and the story kept me very engaged. From the first chapter, I felt immersed in the context of the plot. One of the marks of a great book is a great opening line or chapter, and this one has both those things, as well as, carrying that same strength throughout. I felt like I was right there with the characters as they navigated through their deepest struggles, fears and triumphs. I particularly love how this story spans a century of time. This book would make a great listen on a roadtrip!
