"A remarkable work, and a real pleasure to read. The scope of the book is wonderfully ambitious, and the pacing is also outstanding as the novel successfully zeroes in on decisive events and leaps years with crisp expository narrative. Corwin's voice is naturally decisive and authoritative, contributing to the overall persuasiveness. Overall, it is truly impressive work, and it its important work as well. This is a novel with real impact." Fred Leebron, author of Six Figures and Welcome to Christiania. "Tallapoosa yields up a gratifying mix of history, drama, and good old-fashioned character-based story telling. The novel's people manage against all odds to remain good and humane in the battle against wicked institutions and in the face of apparently insurmountable odds. A moving narrative about the struggle to do good in a fallen world. Pinkney Benedict, author of Miricle Boy and Other Stories. With searing honesty and through unforgettable characters, in Tallapoosa, Corwin lays bare the struggle for the Southern soul in its darkest-and most hopeful-hours. Pat McKee, author of Ariel's Island, winner of the National Indie Excellence Award.
