I dropped by the Town Crier this afternoon.
The book came out on Tuesday.
The Scent of Rain and Lightning by Nancy Pickard (of Merriam, KS.)
It’s another Kansas-based novel as was her enormously popular The Virgin of Small Plains.
Nancy writes well and I’m looking forward to reading this novel set in “Rose,” Kansas.
Definitely going to have to read this. I loved the Virgin of Small Plains. I met Nancy about 18 mos. ago when she presented at our local library.
