Book Review of The Pecan Man

The Pecan Man
pj-s-bookcorner avatar reviewed on + 885 more book reviews


The story starts in 1976 in a small Florida town when a recently widowed Ora hires a homeless man, dubbed the Pecan Man, to do odd jobs around her home. What follows is a tale of racism, love, trust, lies, deception, redemption and grace. This was, for me, a haunting story that I did not want to end. The characters were so real you felt their pain and love for each other spanning decades. Absolutely loved this book!
