New Novel "Takes the Reader by the Eyeballs..."

"A stunning and heart-lifting debut of a new Southern writer. More than the story of a man at war with himself, Charles Gershons novel is a glorious affirmation of Jewish values brought to the rural South, and how those values triumphed in todays world. Bravo!"

- Robert Coram, author of Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War "One of those intriguing and enjoyable stories that takes the reader by the eyeballs and holds on until the last page. Simple in its storyline, but complicated in its subject matter, it explores greed, loyalty, friendship, and the horror of history in a compassionate and satisfying manner."

- Terry Kay, author of To Dance With the White Dog
"The Hydrangea People is a must-read for anyone who has ever doubted themselves and eventually found peace. I anticipate with great eagerness further works from Charles Gershon."

- Ferrol Sams, author of Run With The Horseman
