""I loved CURING TIME! With absorbing artistry, Tim Swink depicts the mid-life struggles of a single character to weave a multifaceted tale of love and friendship, of bitter rivalry and murder, of human weakness and the magical power of life itself. As he chronicles the changes sweeping over the rural America (and the nation) in the late 1950's, Swink paints one of the truest portraits of race relations during that era that I've read. Full of great period detail and insight into how a troubled soul affects all around it. CURING TIME marks the arrival of a talented Southern writer. _J. PEDER ZANE, AUTHOR AND FORMER BOOK REVIEW EDITOR, RALEIGH NEWS AND OBSERVER.
