Category: Supernatural, Historical Fiction, Literary Fiction Release Date: January 2015 Tour: Jan/Feb, 2015 Available In: ebook, 280 Pages "Jonah" is a work of literary fiction, a period piece written in accented vernacular. The story is staged in small town Louisiana in the 1930's during the great depression. An elderly black hobo "Jonah" shows up begging at the door of two ladies humble shotgun shack. Though they are poor, they feed him. So he returns the kindness doing a couple of odd jobs to repay them. They take a somewhat mystical trusting, and immediate liking to Jonah and offer him a job. Throughout their time together many amazingly good outcomes happen for the ladies and their families as they are touched by turmoil after turmoil. The story unfolds a murder and cover up involving a prominent Judge who turns out to be responsible for the hit and run death of one of the ladies husbands. There is tragedy and death involved, but in the end, the human spirit is triumphant when they realize, only after Jonah has left their midst, that he had been an angel sent to help them through some otherwise horrible times.
