I am reviewing a copy of The Finder of Forgotten Things through Bethany House Publishers and Netgalley:





This book will take us back to 1932 and Sullivan Harris is on the run.  He is an occasionally successful dowser who promised to help the people of Kline, West Virgina, he told them that he would find them water.  But when the wells turned dry he disappeared with their cash just a step or two ahead of Jeremiah Weber, who was elected to run him down.






Gainey Floyd is the post mistress and she is suspicious of Sulley's abilities when he appears in her town but reconsiders after new wells fill with sweet water. Rather, it's Sulley who grows uneasy when his success makes folks wonder if he can find more than water like forgotten items or missing people. He lights out to escape such expectations and runs smack into something worse.







Hundreds of men were able to find jobs digging the Hawks Nest Tunnel--but what they thought was a blessing is killing them.  But no one seems to care that these men are dying.  Here, Sulley finds something new--a desire to help. With it, he becomes an unexpected catalyst, bringing Jeremiah and Gainey together to find what even he has forgotten: hope.




I give The Finder of Forgotten Things five out of five stars…



Happy Reading…
