I just adore these writers!! Easily an auto buy author (duo) for me!

Filled with an intoxicating magical realism and this intricate system of breadcrumbs that you start to realize have been sprinkled throughout, The Pecan Children is a beautifully written book about home, family, love and loss.

Set against the kudzu choked backdrop of this pecan plantation in rural Arkansas, Lil tends the pecan harvests year after year. It’s a time she loves, even though the town has been sold off piece by piece, bringing a sense of melancholy. When her twin sister Sasha returns home, Lil reluctantly incorporates her back into the work their family has had for generations.

But, something is lurking just on the edge… something much older, something darker… something that could pop their meager little bubble. With much love and care for the characters, Quinn Connor writes a deeply satisfying story, one in which I never saw coming.

In The Pecan Children, we follow more than just Lil and Sasha. There are other characters, there are other events happening simultaneously to pull all of this together so perfectly. There is this dark and mysterious lore to the woods and a responsibility passed down, creating this utter hold over me. I loved every single minute!
