Molasses Making Time is a heart-warming coming of age novel for middle grade to young adult readers. In the 1930's on his family's farm in Yancy County, NC., times were hard, but eleven-year-old Aaron Gilbert Fowler was happy. His close relationship with his beloved pa made up for the criticism from his stern ma. Aaron enjoyed fishing and coon hunting with his pa, and corn shucking parties. But his favorite time of all was molasses making--until the accident that tore his life apart.

Warm Hearted Tale,
By Louis N. Gruber "Author of Jay" (Lexington, SC United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Molasses Making Time (Paperback)
Aaron Fowler is just about as happy as an eleven-year old boy could be, surrounded by a loving family, the rhythms of rural life, and his love for his Pa, a big, handsome, fun-loving man. If he has a crush on his favorite teacher, if he squabbles with his silly younger sister, aren't those just part of growing up?
His favorite time of year is molasses making time, and then-- The accident happens. Suddenly Pa is dead, and Aaron must adjust to a world that will never be the same. There isn't much more to say about the plot. Author Grace Looper handles the story with skill and sensitivity. The characters and their conflicts become real and believable. Most remarkable is the way she can get inside a little boy's head. This is a great story. It moves a bit slowly in the beginning, but gradually picks up speed. You may shed a few tears but you won't be able to put it down. I recommend this one highly. Reviewed by Louis N. Gruber.

Touching and Authentic,
By Betty Wilson Beamguard (York, SC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Molasses Making Time (Paperback)
Whether you're young or old, you'll be touched by this little book's heartfelt emotion and authentic portrayal of life during the 30's. It reminds me of Cold Sassy Tree.
