A Novel
Devoted readers of Leila Meacham will devour this long, juicy page-turner. Tumbleweedsis the story of three young friends - the saint, the sinner, and the angel - growing up together in the sort of small Texas Panhandle town that lives and dies by its Friday night football games. A fateful event casts a long shadow over these three intertwined lives and leaves the reader turning the pages desperately to see how it all plays out.
"Spanning nearly 30 years, the novel seems unsure of its intentions: is it a romance, a sports saga, or a murder mystery? Most jarring is the novel's unevenness of tone." - Publishers Weekly
"Though full of groaners... Meacham's latest is of a piece with her past work, and sure to find an eager audience among romance buffs." - Kirkus Reviews
