Review

Lambs of Men tells the story of the troubled home of Hiram Tobit. When his mother commits suicide, Hiram faces his father and the stressed bonds between them... a touching and thoughtful read, highly recommended. --Midwest Book Review

Written in the tradition of Charles Frazier and Ron Rash, Lambs of Men is that most rare of books: a violently beautiful story that is, at heart, prose poetry. --Mark Powell, author of Prodigals and Blood Kin

Charles Dodd White has written this rich novel of the mountains as though he's been saving every word of it for a lifetime. --Crystal Wilkinson, author of Blackberries, Blackberries and Water Street

An elegant structure for a grim psalm. --Asheville Citizen-Times
