Follow Me by Joanna Scott - Blog Tour

On a summer day in 1946 Sally Werner, the precocious young daughter of hardscrabble Pennsylvania farmers, secretly accepts her cousin's invitation to ride his new motorcycle. Like so much of what follows in Sally's life, it's an impulsive decision with dramatic and far-reaching consequences. Soon she abandons her home to begin a daring journey of self-creation, the truth of which she entrusts only with her granddaughter and namesake, six decades later. But when young Sally's father--a man she has never known--enters her life and offers another story altogether, she must uncover the truth of her grandmother's secret history. Boldly rendered and beautifully told, in FOLLOW ME Joanna Scott has crafted a paean to the American tradition of re-invention and a sweeping saga of timeless and tender storytelling.

Filled with beautiful detailed descriptions, Scott does a wonderful job weaving the world of Sally Werner. Sally seems to run-away from anything that is good in her life, but her story is one that will pull you in and not let you go until the very triumphant end. Scott is a remarkable storyteller, and doesn't disappoint!
