Publishing Update:

Due to a publishing glitch with Amazon, some copies of The Boarding House are missing two pages of text. The problem with Amazon is being rectified, and I’m happy to provide you with a “clean copy” of the novel should you want one. Just reach out via email and I will send you a new copy once the problem is resolved. In the meantime you can find a PDF of the missing pages 158 and 159 linked below. Apologies for the omission!

It is the summer of 1927 when freshly-minted college graduate Robert Martin moves to the small Southside Virginia town of Lawrenceville. There, he takes up residence in the boarding house operated by widow Louvenia Hicks with help from her teenage daughter, Laura. Over the course of the next year, Robert is enmeshed in the lives of the Hicks family and his fellow boarders, as well as those of the citizens—Black and white—of the broader community. With humor and pathos, The Boarding House explores the intricate fabric of life of an American town in the days just before the Great Depression. learn more
