Robert Gipe, author of the award-winning 2015 illustrated novel 鈥," has just published 鈥," which continues the story of reluctant heroine Dawn Jewell and is the second book in a planned trilogy.
He wrote about the novel for the 鈥淏ehind the Book鈥 web column for national book review publication, BookPage.
In his piece, titled 鈥,鈥 Gipe writes, 鈥淚 wrote 鈥奥别别诲别补迟别谤鈥 knowing people who live where I do also read books. So I try to write something for them that deals with what is hard, but also catches how much fun we have, and how much spirit for surviving we have, and I try to write books that mess around with ideas about how things could maybe get better. But then I also write books to try and catch what it鈥檚 like when a whole bunch of things go wrong at once for readers for whom not so many things have gone wrong.鈥
Gipe鈥檚 deep empathy for his characters and the real-life people who inspire him, along with his refusal to bow to sentimentality and his unerring ear for dialect, have won him a fervent following and rapturous reviews.
Most recently, Chapter16.org, an arm of Humanities Tennessee, reviewed the book, saying, 鈥.鈥&苍产蝉辫;
