Sometimes an author can flop with a second book after a big hit (The View from Here), but that is not the case with Brian Keith Jackson’s follow-up novel, Walking Through Mirrors. The new work brilliantly chronicles the emotional homecoming of a young photographer to a Louisiana town for his father’s funeral, in which all the usual themes of love, loss, forgiveness, and familial secrets are efficiently reworked in lyrical, elegant prose.
Valiant Women is a vital and engrossing attempt to correct the record and rightfully celebrate the achievements of female veterans of World War II.
