Good Reviews for The Possessor

“Great book from a real storyteller. Anyone who knows and loves America’s heartland will nod and smile at the fine details woven delicately through the tapestry of this story’s Missouri setting. Anyone who loves characters who are as real as the people you have actually met will appreciate the way Hooper’s characters come to life and stay alive in your memory.”
--Robin Blakely, author of SIX HATS and PR THERAPY

I read The Possessor this week and really enjoyed it.  I don't usually pick books about "feelings", but I completely identified with Mac.  Once I started it I didn't want to put it down and read it in two days. It was also fun to read a period book that I could really relate to.  I spent summers with my grandparents in a small Iowa town.  Although I thankfully did not have the type of experiences of Mac, the attitudes and behaviors of the adults were so similar!
