Springheads
Praise for Springheads...Mary Jo Dyre's Springheads travels through Time. Springs erupt, scattering narrator Sarah and characters - Colin, Miss Sadie, the baby William, his mom Savannah, on and on - in and out of Time. Bodies breathe demonstrably, enlightening each moment. Stories rest and rally, settling contact in "the deep dark pools" of every character's eyes. This autobiographical novel renders what it means to be a human being lost in Time to be found in someone else's presence. Sarah, the "I," tells all for characters like Savannah, the Native American whose life and region is displaced and taken over by mostly white settlers. Seeking a freedom of place may be the main theme of Springheads. Time warps the need to want to know. The effect is to not know, as Sarah ponders feelings of Love for Colin. She literally falls for Colin Stewart, professor in the English Department at UNC-Asheville. And then the news: Colin goes missing, officially. The singular reality of every moment becomes fact and dream together. Sarah learns that the real treasure springs within herself.-Shelby Stephenson author of More and Shelby's Lady: The Hog Poems among others and former poet laureate of North Carolina from 2015-2018.Springheads will take you to another time and still keep you wrapped in your own heart. Mary Jo Dyre is a master of story who weaves truth and tweaks it with what might be, ingrained with vibrant characters set in a world where all returns to two springheads. Take this book to bed with you, but don't expect to sleep.- Mary Ricketson, author of I Hear the River Call My Name, Hanging Dog Creek, Shade and Shelter, Mississippi: The Story of Luke and Marian, Keeping in Place, and Lira. About the Author A native Mississippian, born into the rural backwoods of Kilmichael, then educated in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, Mary Jo Dyre eventually finds her home in the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina.
