Reviews
Drifting Too Far From the Shore marks extraordinary talent. I can’t remember the last time that I have enjoyed a book this much. It’s beautifully written and compelling, with incredible range. Muddy is richly developed, springing right out of the pages.
– Michael Lee West, author of Crazy Ladies
A brilliant work of storytelling…Reddick throws us into the mind and events of Ms Muddy Rewis and how she handles the waning years of her life. They are not dreary and bleak, but are full of the southern spunk Americans are so accustomed to from the likes of Mark Twain, Tennessee Williams, and Harper Lee. His talent for making the mundane interesting, and the ordinary sentimentally extraordinary is a gift…
- Kelly Kusumoto – Senior Editor of Cicatrix Publishing
A fresh, simple story of an elderly woman in a little south Georgia, fictional town. The main character is Muddie Rewis, nick-named "Muddie" for her childhood passion of patting out mudpies on the bottom of a tin washtub to bake in the sun till done…Each chapter heading in Niles Reddick's fine novel pays tribute to Muddie's emotional clashes with self over the futility of trying to fix the entire world. Head-on, she attempts to mete out justice where there is none and bring about peace to her community and family.
