About the Book

GOLD Winner in the 2020 Human Relations Indie Book Awards for Contemporary Realistic Fiction

"A national struggle that is ever timely..."
"Bolstered by psychology and far-ranging philosophy," the American novel depicts a family saga portraying the "Norman Rockwell version of an American idyll... steeped in issues of social class and mobility."
"The American novelist CG FEWSTON tells a satisfying tale, bolstered by psychology and far-ranging philosophy, calling upon Joseph Campbell, J. D. Salinger, the King James Bible, and Othello."
"In this way, the author lends intellectual heft to a family story, exploring the 'purity' of art, the 'corrupting' influences of publishing, the solitary artist, and the messy interconnectedness of human relationships."

Lone Star Literary Life Magazine Book Review

More about the book...

An epic saga of growing up in 1980s America. An American realist novel that chronicles a cast of characters living in Texas.

While exploring a harsh but beautiful reality in a historical setting of small-town America, the narrative of LITTLE HOMETOWN, AMERICA shows the intricate details of multiple characters in their unique journeys dealing with love, death, family, despair, spirituality and friendship.

Evoking suffering misfortunes and arousing sympathy, the novel LITTLE HOMETOWN, AMERICA reveals a saga based on true events of a boy growing up in a small Texas town in the 1980s and the man he will one day become to travel the world, which will lead to a self-awakening and fantastical end, like Holden Caulfield, in New York's Central Park.LITTLE HOMETOWN, AMERICA (2020) gets its direct inspiration and title from LOOK HOMEWARD, ANGEL (1929) by Thomas Wolfe (1900-1938). It's Wolfe's first novel, one of author CG FEWSTON's favorite books, and is considered a highly autobiographical American coming-of-age story.
