I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
This book, In the Shadow of the Water Tower, is the story of the Kelly boys who grew up in Glenville, Indiana. As men in their 60s one moved to the east coast and the other the west coast. They are brought back together when they receive a call from an attorney from their hometown. They need to travel to Indiana to find out the final wishes of a deceased neighbor from when they were younger. The bequest will have these men facing their past as they wield a power that could change the lives of individuals in their town.
I admit, I was attracted to this book by my childhood. I also grew up in the shadow of a water tower, in a small town. In many ways, I could see how I would reflect on my hometown if I were given the same challenge.
This novel will take the reader to small town, America and perhaps show them a little of themselves.
