Lauren Denton’s latest, a place to land, is yet another in her list of successful novels, written in southern style and in an easy-on-the ears manner. This one’s set in Sugar Bend, Alabama (who wouldn’t want to live in a place called that?) and features three primary characters: sisters Violet and Trudy Figg, and Maya, an eighteen-year-old who’s lost her way but finds her place in Sugar Bend.
We quickly learn that what seems like a nice story in an idyllic setting actually hides secrets from years ago–secrets that threaten the security of the Figgs. Plot twists and turns assisted by other minor characters in the book make for interesting reading, compelling us to keep turning pages.
The best thing about Denton’s books is that you get exactly what you’re expecting. She does not disappoint in her ability to comfortably weave a tale set in her beloved Alabama. Read this book for the pure entertainment it offers!
