Singer of an Empty Day
by Flora Ann Scearce
"'Singer of an Empty Day is a splendid book. The richly detailed characters are alive and vibrant. By the end of the book, I felt that I actually knew these people. The culture and folk-ways of these mountain people are brought to life in a way that is all too rare in modern novels. The author's excellent use of phonetic transcription accurately, and understandably, brings the characters' speech alive. It is, in all ways, a fine depiction of a vanished way of life. I hope that there will be a sequel.' —Jack Spencer Goodwin, past President, Carteret County Historical Society, Inc. Morehead City, NC
'An absorbing and heartwarming mountain story.' —Jean W. Boyd, former Clerk of Superior Court, Craven County, NC
'Through the richness of the details in the dialogues and narration in Flora Ann Scearce's Singer of an Empty Day, the reader learns the essence of 'the mountain way' in the early 1900s. Sippy's relatives remind us of how strong ties can help families make it through the perils of nature and human errors.' —Fran Phelps, retired French teacher, New Bern High School, New Bern, NC"
