Resumen de Diseño de portada de libro

Fabulous book cover needed for novel with a 70+ year old southern heroine who's "got a cane and ain't afraid to use it".
Title: Drifting Too Far From The Shore by Niles Reddick

"Chock full of humor, Drifting too Far From the Shore is a beautiful story that makes you feel like you have been transported back to small town America." - Winston Groom, author of Forest Gump

DESCRIPTION: Readers will fall in love with Muddy (Charlotte) Rewis, a sassy, yet reserved and moderate, 70-something Southern female who has a cane and ain’t afraid to use it. She believes she is in her "last days" and longs to reunite in heaven with her deceased husband, Claude.
Because she is preoccupied with death, historical and tragic news events gravitate to her. The victims are connected to her own life either directly or indirectly: Cassie Harris, the pregnant black female who was lynched in the 1920s, the Hispanic migrant workers who were beaten and killed for their cash from drug crazed criminals, or Hank Holloway, a third grader who was sent to the Florida School for the Boys, where boys for over a hundred years were beaten, raped, and in some cases, killed (tragic stories based on non-fiction accounts).
While each chapter is named for a country gospel song, which was inspired by a particular rendition and is also woven into the fabric of Muddy's story, Drifting too Far from the Shore is also chock full of humor like when Muddy’s grandson shoots out her front window, the bullet whizzing across the street and blowing out Fred Stalvey’s front window. When the local policeman shows, Fred has fallen off the toilet and knocked himself out, but everyone thinks he’s been shot. This incident sets the stage for a renewed friendship for the Muddy and Fred. The novel ends on a positive note with Muddy saying: “I don’t believe I would’ve changed a thing if I had a chance to do it all over again.”

The audience would primarily be middle aged to senior readers but would certainly appeal to anyone who likes rural life, country gospel songs, and ethical, salt of the Earth characters who remind us of ourselves and our own daily lives.
