Solomon's Porch

By Janet Morris Grimes

Description:

Time.
Solomon is running out of it.

A broken and forgotten man fighting the demons of dementia, he longs for the past when both he and his beloved military town of Ginger Ridge once thrived.

When his stooped body collides with the hardened realities of the present, Solomon lies in a coma as an unidentifiable victim of a hit-and-run accident in a faraway city.

With nothing to keep him going but flashbacks of relationships from his past, Solomon has no idea what a difference he will make on the future …

Book Takeaway:

Many times, we are so entrenched in our own brokenness that we forget to become a part of someone else's story. But what if?

Why the author wrote this book:

Solomon's Porch, or portico, is mentioned several times in the Bible as a place where Jesus once walked and healing took place. It became the hub of a vibrant community where people gathered and connected to become part of one another's story.
I had a vision for that same type of place, and the abandoned military town of Ginger Ridge is the perfect spot to make that happen.
Eventually.
I hope you'll find Solomon's Porch to be an instant southern fiction classic, and you'll want to come back to visit often.
