Recensione:

Advance praise for Faded Pictures from My Backyard

“I speak for all Sweet Potato Queens worldwide when I say this: Read This Book! Carswell captures your heart from the first page of her story. You will be moved . . . and quite possibly healed.”
–Jill Conner Browne, bestselling author of The Sweet Potato Queens’ Book of Love

“Faded Pictures from My Backyard is a gentle delight of remarkable cumulative impact, laced with moments of grace and as finely crafted as a novel. Sue Carswell has achieved an alchemical wonder of sorts on both the overwhelmingly rich materials of her complex childhood and the intricacies of her own nakedly empathetic heart, and given us, in sure-footed, lucid, and compassionate prose, the pure gold of loss redeemed by the work of unwavering love.”
–Tim Farrington, author of Lizzie’s War and The Monk Downstairs
