The Street of Yearning - Theron Montgomery
\n A beautiful read. \n \nDonald Mangum, The Roar Beneath. \n \n The Street of Yearning evokes a nostalgic past with dreamlike realism and heart-felt characters, appearing, to paraphrase the author, like sudden ghosts out of a dark background. \n \n \n \nJohn W. Holman, author of Squabble And Other Stories, Luminous Mysteries, and Triangle Ray\n \n Theron Montgomery renders the fictional Springs, Alabama in the way that only a writer steeped in the best of the southern American tradition could. Ingeniously, Montgomery shows us, through the eyes of children, a town and its residents who are mired in memories and dreamily haunted by history, as they long for love and self-discovery. A lyrical and poignant story. \n \nAnthony Grooms, Trouble No More, Bombingham, and The Vain Conversation.\n
