Welcome to Litsy!

You must read this book. What a novel; what a writer! If you enjoy Leif Enger or Kent Haruf, you‘ll love Dietrich.

Set during the dust bowl depression, Paul, Vern, Marigold, Maggie/Ruth, Pete, Reese, and for a time, Eulah form a blended family struggling to survive. Cooter, a child preacher finds father figures who help him survive abuse. Marigold, a true healer, crafts yet another family.

When they come together: Magic!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Set during the Great Depression, this story follows a hodgepodge of diverse characters (a 15 yo pregnant homeless girl, two men-one black, one white, who in wandering to find jobs also find and raise a “lost” baby, two itinerant preachers-one good, one not-so-good and a child preacher-on his own at 14). They follow disparate paths, searching for different things (jobs, food, a home, a family, love, acceptance) 🔽🔽
