Kinfolk - Sean Dietrich

\nSometimes it's the most unlikely meetings that give us life's greatest gifts.\n \n1970s, Southern Alabama. Sixty-two-year-old Jeremiah Lewis Taylor, or Nub, has spent his whole life listening to those he's loved telling him he's no good--first his ex-wife, now his always-disapproving daughter. Sure, his escapades have made him, along with his cousin and perennial sidekick, Benny, just a smidge too familiar with small town law enforcement, but he's never harmed anyone--except perhaps himself.\n \nNub never meant to change his ways, but when he and fifteen-year-old Waffle House waitress Minnie form an unlikely friendship, he realizes for the first time that there may be some good in him after all. Six-foot-five Minnie has been dealt a full deck of bad luck--her father is a convicted murderer serving a life sentence, her mother is dead and buried, and she has a Grand Ole Opry-worthy singing voice with no place to perform. Oh, and there's the small fact that she's unexpectedly pregnant, courtesy of a no-good high-school boy.\n \nGradually, Nub realizes the gift he's been given: a second chance to make a difference.\n \nBeloved Southern writer Sean Dietrich, also known as Sean of the South, once again brings people and places to life in this lyrical song-turned-story about found family, second chances, country music, and the poignant power of love and forgiveness.\n \n- Heartwarming Southern fiction from Sean of the South \n- Stand-alone novel \n- Includes discussion questions for book clubs \n- Also by Sean Dietrich: The Incredible Winston Browne, Stars of Alabama, and You Are My Sunshine
