“River Jordan’s Saints in Limbo is a compelling story of the mysteries of existence and, especially, the mysteries of the human heart.” — Ron Rash, author of Serena and Chemistry and Other Stories

“River Jordan’s artful writing style is utterly captivating. Add to that the heartfelt, intriguing story line of Saints in Limbo, and you’re hooked from the start.” — T. Lynn Ocean, author of Sweet Home Carolina and the Jersey Barnes Mysteries

“In the quiet of light and shadow, on what portends to be an ordinary day, miracles and magic envelop Velma True, a widow, a mother, and a lonely woman who does not suffer fools. Readers will care deeply about Velma’s life: her past, her present, her future, and her good heart. Saints in Limbo brims with truth and insists on hope. River Jordan has written a lyrical and relentlessly beautiful book.” — Connie May Fowler, author of The Problem with Murmur Lee, Before Women Had Wings, When Katie Wakes, Remembering Blue, and other titles

“Saints in Limbo is a lyrical and transcendent novel that will linger with me for years to come. I was entranced from start to finish.”— Karin Gillespie, author of the Bottom Dollar Girls series

“Strange as it sounds, River Jordan’s fascinating novel Saints in Limbo somehow reminded me of Walker Percy and Dean Koontz simultaneously. It’s that original. It’s that good. It’s a wise, funny, joyful, and deadly serious book, written with a poet’s multilayered sense of metaphor and meter and a page-turning sense of urgency. Saints in Limbo is the kind of story they ought to publish in leather-bound hardcover with gilded pages so you could leave it to your grandchildren.”— Athol Dickson, Christy Award–winning author of River Rising, The Cure, and Winter Haven

“Saints in Limbo is an elixir that combines two doses southern literary tradition and one dose magic realism. Jordan evokes the elements of mystery and evil, wisdom and family, in a tale that will make your heart surge and your skin tingle.”— Kim Ponders, author of The Last Blue Mile

“River Jordan’s words flat-out sing. Some pages of Saints in Limbo will soothe you with lullabies, others will reach inside you for the blues, but all of them will pull you inside and slow your multitasking self down. One may speed-read the paper, the grocery list, and the e-mail but not the words of River Jordan. Her stories court you to pace yourself and give them their due. It’s hard to close Saints in Limbo without wondering why River Jordan isn’t a household name.” — Shellie Rushing Tomlinson, author of Suck Your Stomach In and Put Some Color On: What Southern Mamas Tell Their Daughters That the Rest of Y'all Should Know Too and creator and host of All Things Southern

“Mystical and magically written, Saints in Limbo is a beautiful novel. With its vivid characters and lush language, readers will find themselves thinking of Augusta Trobaugh’s Resting in the Bosom of the Lamb.” — Michael Morris, author of A Place Called Wiregrass and Slow Way Home

“River Jordan writes about love’s triumph over fear, reconciliation, and dissolving ancient hurts in words as lyrical as a poem. Her characters wriggle into your heart from page one and will stay there long after you’ve regretfully finished the last page. Saints in Limbo is not only a tribute to the power of place and community but a rollicking good read as well.”—Charlotte Rains Dixon, owner of the writing Web site Wordstrumpet (www.wordstrumpet.com) and director of The Writing Loft, Middle Tennessee State University

“River Jordan’s written words are as poetic and captivating as her name, and her story, Saints in Limbo, is as powerful and healing as the River Jordan itself.” — Denise Hildreth, author of the Savannah series, Flies on the Butter, and The Will of Wisteria

“In Saints in Limbo, River Jordan’s melodious writing lets you see, feel, taste the wind, and she practically sings her characters to life. You will hold on to this book and treasure it and flip though the pages like fire. Saints in Limbo is a triumph of the spirit and a reminder that there’s much more to life than meets the eye. Read this book to remind yourself that heaven can be found right here, right now.” — Nicole Seitz, author of A Hundred Years of Happiness, Trouble the Water, and The Spirit of Sweetgrass

Not much happens in the small town of Echo, Fla., especially to the spunky yet agoraphobic widow, Velma True. But when a mysterious storyteller steps out of the wind and up to her front door, his ordinary-looking birthday gift sends Velma on a breakneck journey over the landscape of her memory, even though she can't even cross her yard to the mailbox. The gift has its consequences and forces Velma to relive both her happiest and darkest moments, trapping her between “what she has and what she wants.” Even more troubling, something evil wants the gift for itself and threatens to take away Velma's home, family and dearest friends. In a wild mix of thriller, mystery, romance and drama, Jordan (The Gin Girl) unravels a complicated plot that sometimes knots up and often leaves loose ends unexplained. Too many side plots and mysteries tumble together and become confused. Despite these vagaries, Velma True's mystical adventure will speak to an audience interested in a thrilling, often touching gothic tale about conquering fear and regret with a stubborn, Southern love.
