Depression Carpenter is a work of 20th century historical fiction written in a homey manner reminiscent of John Steinbeck or Pat Conroy. It is a quick, sweet, delightful read about Jake Ferry, a well-to-do young man who loses his entire family in an automobile accident. He sets off on an undercover journey, attempting to discover some purpose to his life. The author's narrative style attests to the fact that not every page of a book has to be filled with dialogue for the reader to connect with the characters or enjoy the tale. It left me satisfied and with a sense of hope that there are still people in the world like the extraordinary protagonist Java Davis has brought to life with her fabulous storytelling ability.
