IR VERDICT:
Sherry Parnell’s LET THE WILLOWS WEEP is a coming-of-age story about a family bound by the restraints of a life financed by its coal miner father and overshadowed by its never satisfied mother. A story of struggle, loss, and redemption, Parnell masterfully writes vivid descriptions, a riveting plot, and a protagonist who will endear herself anyone who picks up this book.
