Three Roads Out: The Sequel To Along The Red Dirt Road

NEW RELEASE GENRE & AUDIENCE: Good books don't always fit neatly into one category. Three Roads Out features key elements of historical fiction, modern fiction, mystery fiction, mainstream fiction, family saga, and women's fiction - plus some features of classic literary fiction and young adult fiction. Three Roads Out is a sequel, so the prequel, Along the Red Dirt Road, should be read first. Both contain colorful language and non-gratuitous violence, but no vulgarity or sexual content. The result is two wonderfully authentic and timely tales that speak directly to people of many cultures and circumstances - with special relevance to baby boomers (m/f), mature teens, working adults, and socially conscious women of all ages. Neither are romance novels. AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION: This book meets/exceeds key guidelines established by the A.L.A. for book selection. Three Roads Out has serious societal chops, yet is profoundly entertaining. This book was written over a thirty month period during the first outbreak of Covid. No pandemic is mentioned, but there are signs of impending danger. Certain happenings related to the U.S. Civil War, the Great Depression, WW2, the Holocaust, the Cold War, the tumultuous sixties, civil rights, and current times are crucial to this tale. THE STORY begins in the Shenandoah Valley where Along the Red Dirt Road ends. Readers reconnect with some familiar characters and meet compelling new ones. The main protagonist is Annie's unmarried granddaughter, Dr. KT Winslow. It's been over eighty years since KT's enigmatic grandmother left town. Did Hillview ever forgive what she had done? What followed that autumn afternoon by the old stone wall? Fear, revelation, greed, friendship, hard choices, and mortality take center stage. The old woman is gone, and now it's all on KT. Can she turn the page on Hillview and chart a new course as Annie had so long ago? So much has happened. Has anything really changed? The saga ends moments before the pandemic strikes Hillview - or does it? Jane Yearout's gift for storytelling, simple/authentic language, beautiful character development, and grasp of history shine in Three Roads Out. Observant readers and book club discussion groups will also appreciate her dedication to cultural, historical and geographical accuracy - and the fascinating hints and tales she buries in the woodwork of each book.
