About the Book:

Cottonwood Summer is a humorous, yet touching, tale of the World War II home front as a small Michigan town copes with a German POW camp on its outskirts and the disgrace of two local women charged with treason after helping two POWs escape.

If you enjoyed …

• The charm and humor of the small town characters and humor immortalized in Jan Karon’s Mitford series,
  
• The irreverent narration of Ralphie in Jean Shepherd’s Christmas Story, or
  
• John Grisham’s marvelous coming-of-age tale told in The Painted House

… then you’ll love Gary Slaughter’s Cottonwood Summer!

This story is for those who yearn to journey back to simpler times and don’t mind having their funny bone tickled along the way.

"Cottonwood Summer documents author Gary Slaughter as a master at creating loveable characters. It is one of those novels that is easy to pick up but so hard to put down. And when you're finished, you'll search for other books by this undeniably talented writer."
