Review for Never Enough Words
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
“Jack Hammond Jr is the consummate story-teller. His latest novel, Never Enough Words, takes readers back to Scots Bend, a small town in South Carolina, in the 1960’s when the South was grappling with societal, sometimes painful, changes that frequently deeply divided communities, even families and lifelong friends. Having grown up in a small Southern town that, much like Scots Bend, also had its “hidden secrets and buried sins,” I could relate to the characters and the situations Hammond so masterfully draws out. I highly recommend Never Enough Words. Reading it caused me to remember both the good and the bad about the times it covers. Once I began reading, I couldn’t put it down.”
