THE POSTMASTER'S DAUGHTER by Sharon Mabry
“The Postmaster’s Daughter is a haunting southern requiem that will play in your mind long after the book has closed.”
—Paula Wall, author of The Rock Orchard and The Wilde Women
When a marriage proposal brings together two families in East Tennessee, the wealthy and powerful Cantrells and the hardworking and respected Putnams, everyone is shocked by a sudden murder that halts the union. Sharon Mabry’s first novel, The Postmaster’s Daughter, is a literary fiction performance that shows Mabry’s ear for character details and her ability to weave a murder plot that keeps the reader’s interest on the stage of the novel. The Postmaster’s Daughter not only leads you into the working kitchen and tastes of cinnamon buns made by Viege Putnam, but it also takes you for a ride in Jack Cantrell’s ‘29 Model J Duesenberg Phaeton. Mabry arranges each scene and action with precision.
