     Starred review from October 26, 2009
     Bestseller Brown (Smash Cut
     ) brings Depression-era Texas to vivid life in this poignant short novel. At the recommendation of Dr. Murdy Kincaid, Ella Barron, a hardworking woman whose husband deserted her, accepts David Rainwater, a relative of the doctor's, as a lodger at the boarding house she runs in the small town of Gilead, Tex. As the local community contends with a government program to shoot livestock and the opposition of racist Conrad Ellis, a greedy meatpacker, to poor families butchering the meat, Ella grows closer to David. Meanwhile, David becomes a special guardian angel to Solly, Ella's nine-year-old autistic son. Dr. Kincaid has gently suggested Ella put Solly in an institution, but she refuses to do so. Brown skillfully charts the progress of Ella and David's quiet romance, while a contemporary frame adds a neat twist to this heartwarming but never cloying historical.

   • content: Sandra Brown turns to Depression-era Texas in this departure from her usual contemporary romantic suspense. Victor Slezak successfully lightens his voice for the female characters, but it is the deep baritone he gives the male characters that resonates, particularly the rich, confident tones of David Rainwater. When Mr. Rainwater takes a room in Ella Barron's boardinghouse, neither is ready for the way he will change the town or how he will breathe new life into her and her son, Solly. Slezak's slight Southern drawl pulls the listener into the world of drought and despair without being overpowering or distracting, creating the perfect backdrop for the story's budding, but doomed, romance.
