Advanced reviews for my forthcoming novel Lambs of Men


"Charles Dodd White's Lambs of Men is a beautifully wrought, rigorous work, its language forged in the fiery mind of a true artist. This is literature of admirable pureness and integrity."

Robin Lippincott, author of In the Meantime



"Written in the tradition of Charles Frazier and Ron Rash, Lambs of Men is that most rare of books: a violently beautiful story that is, at heart, a work of prose poetry."


Mark Powell, author of Prodigals and Blood Kin



"Charles Dodd White has written this rich novel of the mountains as though he's been saving every word of it for a lifetime. A book full of blood and beauty and bone, a story that carries the reader through time, through lives, through dirt and fire. This book strikes the reader's heart so deeply that readers will be called back to it again and again. He has written this family and their circumstances with such tender care...A rare book where every sentence delights and startles. It's a small gem that commands the reader's full attention and entire heart."


Crystal Wilkinson, author of Blackberries, Blackberries and Water Street
