"This immersive, full-bodied novel will keep its hooks in you long after the last page is read, and marks the arrival of a tremendously wise and talented writer."—Ben Fountain
Set in 1970-90s Texas, a mesmerizing story about a fierce woman and the partner-in-crime she can’t escape, perfect for readers of Where the Crawdads Sing and Valentine.
It was 1970 when thirteen-year-old runaway Kit Walker was abducted by Manny Romero, a smooth-talking, low-level criminal, who first coddled her and then groomed her into his partner-in-crime. Before long, Kit and Manny were infamous for their string of gas station robberies throughout Texas, making a name for themselves as the Texaco Twosome.
Twenty years after they meet, Kit has scraped together a life for herself and her daughter amongst the pecan trees and muddy creeks of the town of Pecan Hollow, far from Manny. But when he shows up at her doorstep a new man, fresh out of prison, Kit is forced to reckon with the shadows of her past.
A gritty, penetrating, and unexpectedly tender novel, Shadows of Pecan Hollow is a hauntingly intimate and distinctly original debut about the complexity of love—both romantic and familial—and the bonds that define us.
“Paper Moon meets Badlands in this mesmerizing Texas backroads thriller, a twisty story of a runaway girl who finds a home and a desperate love on the road with an opportunistic criminal.”—Janet Fitch

As the book was long it still held my attention throughout the whole story. I felt compelled to continue through the (let say) slower portions. But slow didn’t mean uninteresting. The book in some spots had me jumping to feet with nervous anticipation.
Caroline Frost has a wonderful way of writing and the narrator Alex McKenna made the book come alive.
I recommend this Audible book highly. I will listen to another Caroline Frost book anytime.

I have to say this story was very reminiscent of the popular book and now Netflix series "Pieces of her," so that was a bit strange. I'm not sure which author wrote their novel first, but the books were clearly inspired by the other. I still really enjoyed the story and recommended it. The narrator was excellent as well!
I loved this story!
