Lola Down Home Press John Wesley Stewart is dead. And the way of life that he has known is going with him. He has loved his three children. He has longed for his dead wife. And he has been fair with his hired man, Fenner. A good man, John Wesley Stewart. But he has not left behind to his son his love for the land, his ability to feel the soil and sniff it and know that it is ready for planting. David understands only books and figures. And to his daughter Julia, he has left resentment—and responsibility for his youngest child, Lola, the innocent one, the woman-child. What is to happen to Lola? And what is to happen to the land? In this powerful and deeply moving narrative, told in six voices, including that of the serpent, Tim McLaurin proves himself to be the poet his novels have always promised.
Reviews “If you’re willing to accept the simple premise that art is truth powerfully rendered, consider Tim McLaurin a true artist.” “McLaurin has a knack for moving to the heart of the human experience and for doing so with grace and simple eloquence.” “An exceptional writer.” “Lyrical, eloquent . . . a clear Southern voice.”
