There were several things that pulled me right into Cathy Perkins’s book The Professor. The setting, back in my single days I worked in Manning, SC. My aunt and uncle lived in Lake City, SC. One of the best school librarian’s I ever worked with grew up in Newberry. It was fun reading a book set in places that I could close my eyes and remember, I don’t think I’ve ever been able to do that with a book before.The emotion felt by the characters, the way the author chose her words, and wove them together in a way that made you feel the way the characters felt. Meg’s past, how it made her the woman she is. Mick’s past that gave him the gumption to be supportive, even though he didn’t know what she’d been through. Then toward the end… Oh my, enough said.The sinister Professor, learning about him, tidbit by tidbit throughout the book made it hard to put the book down.I had reached a funk in reading. There are so many publisher required formula books on the market these days, that I’d lost hope of reading something that would capture my imagination and draw me in. I’m glad that I’m a part of a book club that wanted to read The Professor, it returned the joy of reading to me.
