Pamela Carter Joern
         
award winning author

 

This is a kind-hearted, humorous, and graceful novel full of secrets, regrets, and redemptions. I immediately related to the drama of this beautifully drawn book about an eclectic cast of characters on the prairie and Sandhills of western Nebraska. Pamela Carter Joern writes about the Great Plains with the authority of a biologist and the passion of a poet.

Toby's Last Resort is both lyrical and riveting. The writing is beautiful, the plot intricate and the characters fully developed. The setting in the Nebraska Sandhills is inspired. Joern demonstrates with every page how the lives of ordinary people, when closely examined, are always extraordinarily complex, heart-breaking and important. I loved every aspect of this fine novel and I recommend it to all.

Women Rowing North

Pamela Carter Joern understands the flinty women of Western Nebraska like few other writers. Toby's Last Resort is a beautiful, funny, and wrenching story that explores the love of the land accompanied by a desire for independence and privacy. I loved this novel, as I did The Floor of the Sky. My hope is that a third novel about this family and their world might be in the offing.
