Banish The Broken From My Bones

It is 1936.

The Great Depression is still strangling America. People are out of work. Out of options. And everyone is desperate.

But in the small town of Rath, Minnesota, another kind of evil is holding sway.

Something terrible has woken, and the little community will never be the same.


THE EXORCISM OF SARA MAY by Joe Hart is a coming of age story mixed with drama, suspense and the supernatural. The author does such an excellent job of drawing the reader into the community of Rath with the personal POV of Lane, the slow pace didn't bother me at all. Set within The Great Depression, the connections between characters felt very deep and meaningful. When an evil force threatens those relationships, the pain and suffering among loved ones is devastating, to say the least.

I've always enjoyed Hart's stories, and this has become one of my favorites. The author has an incredible talent for weaving family themes and well-developed characters with psychological conflicts and North American folklore. I recommend this to anyone looking for a story which will reach into your soul.

As always,
