By Amy Franklin-Willis

With enormous heart and dazzling agility, Amy Franklin-Willis expertly mines the fault lines in one Southern working-class family. Driven by the soulful voices of 42-year-old Ezekiel Cooper and his mother, Lillian, The Lost Saints of Tennessee journeys from the 1940s to 1980s as it follows Zeke’s evolution from anointed son, to honorable sibling, to unhinged middle-aged man.

I haven't heard of this one before, it looks really interesting! And I love the cover. Great pick!
this one sounds really interesting! i like that it spans 40 years.
Historical works are something that I enjoy too. Thanks for hosting this meme.
Hmm. It doesn't sound like my usual type of book, but it sounds pretty good. I especially love the cover! Great pick this week. :)
This sounds like a great pick, Jill! I love books about the south, and even better that its about my state, TN! :)
That cover is beautiful. It makes me wish I could do that.
I've never heard of it before and I don't really think it's for me, but hope whenever you get a chance to read it, that you enjoy it.
I'll admit, this probably isn't something I'd read or normally even look at. The summary is rather sparse, but it does spark a bit of interest. So depending on my mood when this comes out, this'll be going on the maybe pile for my TBRs.
Great pick. I love finding out about books that wouldn't normally catch my eye.
Another southern book. Awesome. I love books set in the South!
Hmmm...might have to check that one out! Happy Wednesday!

YAY, JILL! I just love Wednesdays because my book wish list always grows practically exponentially with awesome new reads! :)
I really like the cover of the book you chose! It's so simple and pretty. Plus, I ADORE the title and the fact that it's set in Tennessee -- because I've always wanted to go there!

Have to say, I'm curious as to why Zeke becomes "unhinged"!
Love the cover with the boys holding tires. Looks like a great book, one of those deep ones with all kinds of lessons!

I've been following some other blogs that participate in "Waiting on" Wednesday and I have to say I love this idea!
Ooh, I haven't seen any advance buzz for LOST SAINTS, but the description appeals to me (as does the cover, I'll admit)
I haven't heard of this book but anything set in the South sounds good to me:)
