A Sound Like Thunder
By Sonny Brewer
"Sonny Brewer holds the reader close with a
memorable story set in what was a magical place to
live,"Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird.
Set in a small gulf town of Fairhope, Alabama, this
lyrical coming-of-age tale is a story of fathers and
sons, family and betrayal. Rove McNee is 16 in the
winter of 1941. Yearning to enjoy his passion for cast
net fishing and spending time on his twenty-five foot
sailing sloop, the Sea Bird, Rove is also looking for
ways to escape his troubled home life. Though strong
and self-reliant, Rove must dealwith issues beyond
his years. !n the process he meets Ocean Springs
artist WalterAnderson, whose insights about nature,
birds, waterspouts and freedom ultimately provide
refuge for Rove's soul.
