Come the Morning

“Philadelphia's art world at the turn of the century receives close inspection and serves as the historical backdrop for Come the Morning, a novel about a struggling gallery owner. “Evocative, reflective, and historically revealing, Come the Morning does a fine job of dovetailing a sense of self with a sense of place and purpose, also revealing the plights of women, artists, entrepreneurs, and the circles that both support and defeat them. “Readers seeking a moving story of artistic circles and life change will find that Come the Morning operates smoothly and is compelling on many different levels, making it a top recommendation.” --Midwest Book Review “A deeply satisfying novel of scope and depth. A beautiful book. Come the Morning brings to mind Crane's Maggie, Sinclair's The Jungle, or the more genteel worlds of Henry James and Edith Wharton. I loved it.” --Tim Bazzett, author of the memoir, Booklover “An unforgiving world of poverty, boom-bust, the growing women's movement, European migration [and Ezekiel Harrington’s] single-minded quest for wealth and revenge. A superbly engrossing sequel to Burt's earlier, The Seasons of Doubt.” -- Jerry Berberet, PhD, American Historian “Come the Morning, the sequel to novelist Jeannie Burt’s Seasons of Doubt, will immediately captivate readers as they continue to explore the life of Ezekiel Harrington, a good friend of Robert Henry Cozad, later to become Robert Henri, one of America’s greatest artists and art instructors. While the Seasons of Doubt explores the community life of Cozad, Nebraska, Come the Morning returns to the life of Harrington although now he is now living in Philadelphia and then Paris, along with his continuing friendship with Henri who is now an aspiring artist.” --The Robert Henri Museum “Come the Morning: hardship and grit, a life journey twisted by reality. Catch your breath before you start to read.” --Manuel Cobarrubias
