SPUR AWARD FINALIST – HISTORICAL NOVEL
Award-winning author, JAMES WADE, joins us for a conversation about his critically acclaimed novel NARROW THE ROAD. We couldn’t put it down, and neither will you!
Set in 1932 in East Texas this story will grab a hold of you and won’t let you go! Our suggestion – have a pitcher of water at hand for those times the landscape will leave you parched, and a light on for the eerie moments. We chat about Wade’s writing process and the inspiration behind the storyline including WWI Veterans and their challenges, the daunting landscape, and a cast of memorable characters. Alive with grit and tenderness, this is an unforgettable story of the power of friendship to sustain us through loss, betrayal, and devastating consequences.
Hosts – Jim and Bobbi Jean Bell
