Praise for The Hydrangea People

“A stunning and heart-lifting debut of a new Southern writer. More than the story of a man at war with himself Charles Gershon’s novel is a glorious affirmation of Jewish values brought to the rural South, and how those values triumphed in today’s world. Bravo!”
      Robert Coram, author of
     Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War

“The Hydrangea People is one of those intriguing and enjoyable stories that takes the reader by the eyeballs and holds on until the last page. Simple in its storyline, but complicated in its subject matter, it explores greed, loyalty, friendship and the horror of history in a compassionate and satisfying manner.”
      Terry Kay, author of
     To Dance With The White Dog

“Charles Gershon has written a remarkable and courageous first novel. With marvelous insight and unleashed candor, he delineates the difference between greed and charity, class and brass. He portrays the corporate mentality toward medicine that has contrived to separate patients and physicians from the mutual trust they once enjoyed. But at the heart of this book is one man’s haunting search for love an affirmation and the triumphant, climatic revelation of how he attains both. The Hydrangea People is a must-read for anyone who has ever doubted themselves and eventually found peace. I anticipate with great eagerness further works from Charles Gershon.”
