“I’m tired, Daddy. Wore out. Roy Tupkin don’t just beat me, he beats me down. Let me rest a spell. I don’t know if I can lift my head just yet.”
IF THE CREEK DON’T RISE by LEAH WEISS is well written novel that pulls at your heart strings and keeps your attention from the very beginning.
Baines Creek is a town where town gossip is number one entertainment. until the day Kate Shaw, the out of town teacher that decides to start fresh in Baines creek. Kate made few friends upon arrival but also made an enemy(spiteful prudence perkins) . Kate immediately becomes engaged in the well beings of all residents of Baine creek especially Sadie blue.
Sadie Blue , 17 years old , pregnant and married for 15 days to Roy tupkin. A good for nothing drunk who beats on Sadie any chance he gets.
Sadie Blue is a huge fan of Loretta Lynn and thru her music she finds strength to carry on even though she can not read . she loves to look at anything that features Loretta lynn.
Throughout the book we get several persepctibes of the storyline leading up to a dramatic ending.
This book I would highly recommended. Leigh Weiss is an author to watch out for . I would glady read more from her. She lets the reader in on such a touchy subject without it being overbearing.
I got this book from Netgally for my honest feedback.
