Dirt Road Main Street is a compelling story that satisfies the curious mind who may have ever dared to imagine what might have been. Clark has a fresh and easy way of setting the scene and immersing readers in an inviting and unpretentious manner. The best example is her description of Donna Lynn Brown who, “took on the appearance of a rubber baby doll, a troll doll to be precise, with a turned-up pug nose, chubby cheeks, tousled dark red hair and short chunky legs.” The book is filled with drama, suspense and an evolving love story colored with the powerful shades of a diverse and evocative playlist. Through the eyes of Holly, readers are treated to the rare glimpse of life dating a traveling musician. Brimming with the brilliance of shiny, new love and tempered with the electricity of suspense and danger, Cynthia L. Clark has written a swoon-worthy novel that you’ll want to devour in one sitting!
