Inspired by true events and rooted in the author's family history, The Storekeeper's Vigil and Other Tales is a powerful work of Southern historical fiction about grief, resilience, and the strength of community.
As war unfolded overseas in the winter of 1944, a small town in West Tennessee on the WWII home front lived in uncertainty. The story of a nearly blind storekeeper waiting for his son's return, is a testament to the enduring power of a father-son relationship. And when loss strikes the town, his presence becomes a quiet source of strength for his community, giving him purpose in the winter of his life.
This debut novel from Front Porch Editorial, written by historian and storyteller John Talbott, is a must-read for fans of character-driven literary fiction and anyone who believes in the power of a single quiet act to illuminate the darkest of times.
