Imagine if Maeve Binchy grew up in Texas and wrote an
old–school Larry McMurtry novel. Think Hope Floats
meets High Fidelity.
That's how critics are describing A Good Kind of
Knowing—from the author of the highly acclaimed and
number–one Amazon bestseller, Blue Straggler.
A Good Kind of Knowing is a novel about the power of
music and friendship, the relationship two–steps that
go on in old Texas dancehalls, and the secret to finding
just a little bit of common ground in a world full of
distrust.
Sera Taylor's store is the one place in Lakeville,
Texas, where individuals from all walks of life share a
universal love for music and a respect for the
gypsy–like woman behind the antique glass counter.
Readers get a taste of the unorthodox connection between
Sera and Mack, a young local cowboy and musician, and
Sera's previously untested devotion to her husband Bill.
They learn of her relationship with Ruby D., the vibrant
but misguided mother of five; with Louie, the shy high
school band director; with Beverly, the religious,
upper–class socialite; with Antonio, a local bar
owner striving to make a life for himself; with Tommy Lee,
a rich and directionless gigolo; and with Wes, the only
out–of–the closet gay man for miles. As Sera
battles a serious illness, the characters must overcome
long–held stereotypes to save Sera's store, and in
the end, large parts of themselves.
What readers are saying:
"Engaging, emotionally accurate, visual and funny.
"My head is full of your story. It took me only two and
a half days to read the book cover to cover, which means I
was doing it every spare minute."
"You pulled me right in."
"I feel like I'm right there—I can feel the Texas
heat and see the small town and the people who populate
it."
"The characters are diverse and interesting, and each
has a unique personality that adds to the entire canvas of
the story."
"I know these people. What's more, I like them, even
despite their faults."
"The pace is comfortable, the characters rich and
colorful. The events are anything but predictable; I was
always wondering what's going to happen next."
