Marcia Kemp Sterling’s first novel One Summer in Arkansas draws readers into the “intoxicating warmth” of a southern summer, from Thomas Hinton’s soulful cover art to the final twist of resolution.
The
story spins around small-town golden boy Lee Addison. His smarts, hard
work, and genes are about to pay off. At the behest of his mother,
Lee returns to his hometown of Riverton in rural Arkansas to spend one
last summer there between graduating from Stanford Law School and
beginning his career. It’s the early 90s, and Lee is poised for success
in the sleek, corporate law firms of San Francisco. But Lee’s last
summer in Riverton resurrects a tangle of abandonment, addiction,
murder, passion, and sullied histories that rise to burn with the summer
temperatures.

Marcia,
ReplyDeleteI just finished an almost non stop reading of your book and loved it. You are such a fluid and easy writer. I loved your sense of place, the characters and story. It was wonderful. You take my breath away. Thank you!
As a fellow Arkansas High School graduate (Class of 1975), I was thrilled to read your book. Many of the places and people are drawn with a definite Southern Arkansas flair. The book kept me engaged and made me keep reading. Congratulations on what I hope is your first of many novels.
ReplyDeleteIt is really nice to find Law firms in one blog. Law firms are business entity formed by one or more lawyers to engage in the practice of law where we can get multiple subject experts in a single roof.
