"Tim weaves a tapestry of life in midwest Ohio dairy country..."

“South on Summit is a remarkable work of historical fiction. Tim weaves a tapestry of life in midwest Ohio dairy country where the reader is immersed in a deeply religious farm culture – their customs, romance, traditions, resilience, hopes and dreams – against the backdrop of the darkest days of the depression and the horrors of World War II. If you want a better understanding of the American character and culture of the midwest in the mid-20th century, this book is a must read.”

"This novel has something for everyone"

“As a dedicated reader of historical fiction, I approached this novel with an eye to detail and accuracy in addition to expecting a well-told story. I was not disappointed. This novel has something for everyone: history, romance, adventure, mystery, and even a whiff of the supernatural with a dream sequence.”

"A truly reflective and emotional story..."

“A book of love, friendship, war, history and all the emotions that life allows one to experience. A truly reflective and emotional story of the kind of love that endures despite many obstacles, and persists as we grow into the best version of ourselves.”
