Review

Praise for The Saints of Swallow Hill

“The distinctive setting of the turpentine camps in the South during the Great Depression will make an imprint on readers, just as the characters of Rae Lynn and Del do. Fans of Sarah Addison Allen won't be able to put it down.”
—Booklist

Praise for Donna Everhart's Southern Fiction

"Rousing...movingly explores Jessie's struggle with her eating disorder, viscerally describing her twin desires for nourishment and purging in relation to a deep need to define herself...Everhart's story of self-discovery, rife with colorful characters and a satisfying twist, will thrill readers."
—Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW for The Moonshiner's Daughter

"This riveting novel set in the 1960s will have readers, especially those who enjoy Kaye Gibbons and Anna Jean Mayhew, captivated from the first page."
—Booklist, STARRED REVIEW for The Moonshiner's Daughter

"Highly engaging and fast-paced with well-drawn out characters...the glimpse into this landscape and the moonshining underground is equal parts eye-opening and fascinating. Everhart handles Jessie's eating disorder with grace and compassion. The book also explores family loyalty and legacy. There's a lot to digest, and all of it makes for a compelling reading experience."
—The Historical Novels Reviewon The Moonshiner's Daughter

"Reminiscent of the novels of Lee Smith, Kaye Gibbons, and Sandra Dallas, Everhart builds a firm sense of place, portraying the tiredness and hope of a dry southern summer and voicing strong southern women."
—Bookliston The Forgiving Kind

"Set in 1950s North Carolina, this touching and fearless novel is a coming-of-age story about a young heroine determined to survive and pursue justice out of love for her family."
—She Reads on The Forgiving Kind

"This story of survival and perseverance is heartbreaking and hard, but the ways the characters in the book choose family and hope lead them on paths they would never expect. Laci brings a bright spot to the family when she uses her fiddle to express her deeper thoughts and feelings while adding a magical component to the family's singing group, The Stampers...Everhart creates a signature style by writing in the voice of the main character, a young Southern girl, telling the story from her perspective. Her voice remains true throughout the novel, successfully engaging the reader."
—The Missourian on The Road to Bittersweet

"Everhart is a good storyteller and makes her characters and their experiences come alive."
—Booklist on The Road to Bittersweet

"An adventure story and coming-of-age story wrapped into one satisfying package... Donna Everhart skillfully evokes a harsh landscape and harsh times, squarely placing the reader in Appalachia right along with the family. Wallis Ann's complicated relationship with her sister is well explored and serves as a catalyst for her growth into a mature young woman."
—Historical Novels Review on The Road to Bittersweet

"With gravitas and heart...Donna Everhart does a deft job of writing about innocence lost."
—Business Insider, Insider Pick for The Education of Dixie Dupree

"This is a dark, haunting book that will linger with you for days, but despite the heaviness of the book, Dixie is a witty, charismatic burst of energy and sunshine who readers will want to rescue themselves. A remarkable story of the triumph of will, and a great coming-of-age novel."
—Historical Novels Review on The Education of Dixie Dupree

"[A] harrowing coming-of-age novel set in Alabama...Readers will be drawn to Dixie, who is full of spunk and grit."
—Bookliston The Education of Dixie Dupree

“Please open your heart to Dixie Dupree. With unflinching honesty and a voice that rings with authenticity, she survives the unthinkable. Her story celebrates the resiliency of the human spirit and the triumph of the imagination. An important novel, beautifully written, this is a story to cherish.”
—Susan Wiggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author on The Education of Dixie Dupree
 
 “Young Dixie Dupree is an indomitable spirit in this coming-of-age novel that is a heartbreaking and honest witness to the resilience of human nature and the fighting spirit and courage residing in all of us.” 
—The Huffington Post on The Education of Dixie Dupree

“In a powerful coming‑of‑age story that pitches southern charm against dark family secrets, the voice of 11‑year‑old Dixie Dupree captivates from the first page to the last.” 
—Barbara Claypole White, bestselling author of The Perfect Son on The Education of Dixie Dupree

Great Historical Fiction Book
Copied from my Goodreads review ..."The Saints of Swallow Hill" by Donna Everhart is only the second book I have read of hers and it was better than the first one I had read, which was great too. I was never much into Depression-era books, though I can remember stories my grandparents and great-grandparents told me. While my family was not from the same region, there were many similarities. I had heard of the "Tar Heel" state before but didn't have a clue. During the reading of the book, I looked up some information on this very thing and found the book to be accurate. It could have been a true story.The book flowed great. It sparks a lot of emotion at times because you can feel what these characters are going through, which tells you that the character development is terrific. I suppose being a female today and reading about what certain women went through in those days, it could also make you feel blessed. I would also say that Everhart has a great propensity for descriptive writing. You can see what she is writing. When the book plays out in your mind like a movie, that is a sign that the author has done a wonderful job of setting the scene and describing it to the point of viewing it mentally. I love that about this book and so far the other I read too ("The Forgiving Kind").If you love books that are full of hardships, friendships, full of descriptive writing, characters that you grow attached to, and a storyline that you could see as a movie, then it's a book that you should definitely read. I highly recommend it!
