4.5 StarsThe Pecan Man is Cassie Dandridge Sellecks self-published debut novel. Several people, I believe, mentioned that it was part To Kill a Mockingbird with various secondary novels. I can see the comparison, the easy, flowing prose, the narrators, Ora, voice, her style of meandering through days. Honestly, Oras voice reminded far more of the movie version of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café. Oras voice, to me was very similar to Jessica Tandys / Ninny Threadgoode. The Pecan Man

The Pecan Man by Cassie Sellect was an ok read for me I loved the cover of this southern novel and the premise of the story got my attention when I saw it was described as a cross between To Kill a Mockingbirdand the The Help I had to read it.A very short novel set in 1976. A recently widowed Ora Lee Beckworth hires a homeless old blackman to help her keep her lawns mowed. Known in the area to the children as Pee-Can Man.

Sometimes you can just start reading a book and tell, this book will break your heart and it did. A very simply told story by a very flawed Ora.

It's an endearing story that also deals with a rape, murder, and kept secrets. It also deals with the racial issues of that time.

3.75★At just under 150 pages this is a small gem and perfect reading material during those in between times when you need something that will not make demands on you. As an added bonus I could only find it in audio format which I usually avoid because I get too easily distracted. It was expertly narrated and settled on me like home-style comfort food over a cold rainy weekend. No problem for me at all staying focused or kept in a state of enjoyment. During the 1970s in a small southern town an
