The Street of Yearning

"A beautiful read. " Donald Mangum, The Roar Beneath. "The Street of Yearning evokes a nostalgic past with dreamlike realism and heart-felt characters, appearing, to paraphrase the author, like sudden ghosts out of a dark background. " John W. Holman, author of Squabble And Other Stories, Luminous Mysteries, and Triangle Ray "Theron Montgomery renders the fictional Springs, Alabama in the way that only a writer steeped in the best of the southern American tradition could. Ingeniously, Montgomery shows us, through the eyes of children, a town and its residents who are mired in memories and dreamily haunted by history, as they long for love and self-discovery. A lyrical and poignant story. " Anthony Grooms, Trouble No More, Bombingham, and The Vain Conversation.
