One Reviewer Notes
“The Drought was fast paced and gripped me from the very first chapter. Patricia Fulton has a Stephen King style of writing that moves you between two protagonists, one in a town in Texas and one in Louisiana. You know that somehow these two worlds will collide but the twists and turns that bring them together will keep you reading late into the night.” – Amazon Reviewer, 5 Stars
