Review
“This book captures the realities of the hungry years of The Depression.”
— Peter Viemeister, Author/Historian, Hamilton’s Books
“Hank definitely enjoyed SHARP TOP, perhaps more than any book he has read. It was hard for him to put down and brought back many memories for him from early childhood right up to the D-Day Memorial. He appreciates very much the accuracy of the history you wove throughout this beloved story from beginning to end.”
— Bonnie & Hank Menefee, The Villages, FL
“On the pages of Sharp Top you will take a step back in history- your heartstrings will be touched as you explore the ’30s and ’40s in the rural mountains of Virginia and gain insight to how WWII changed them forever. The Mons Community no longer exists and writings of this nature keep its vanishing history alive for generations to come.”
