The Red Ribbon (True Colors) Review
My Review
Wow, blown away by another book in the True Colors series! Author Pepper Basham writes her books about the Appalachian area and my oh my are they authentic, from the area portrayed to the dialect to
the crushing poverty.
Very well researched, this author with her Appalachian heritage
brings an authenticity to her writing. I am loving this series, all based on true criminal events that
have been fictionalized in some way.
Jeremiah and Ava's story kept me captivated as I read. I had to look up the Hillsville Courthouse Massacre of 1912 myself because the book fascinated me so much. I love when I can learn more from a book I am reading and frequently look things up as I read. Romance comes alive in this book as does the humor.
I highly recommend this book and the whole True Colors series. Publication Date : October 1, 2020 I was given a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own.
