One Night in Winterset is a moving story that will capture your heart. Don’t think for a minute the brevity of the book lessens its impact. The climactic scene on a snowy Iowa night touches readers (including the author) each time it is read!
It’s a story of redemption and perseverance that you’ll share with others. Luther Perkins and his depression-era journey from the Louisiana Pineywoods to a snow-swept night in the small town of Winterset, Iowa, contains the elements of all good stories: an imperfect hero on a journey, struggling through adversity, to find belonging and purpose.
