Beulah Land is the bloated Gone With The Wind rip-off that Lonnie Coleman is known for; but if you have never heard of/read this book, you are missing out on the one of those surprising, rare treasures in popular fiction. This fictional memoir bravely, sweetly goes to unexpected places, and tears your heart out in the process. I read and re-read this book many, many times, and each time felt those hot tears on my face in the final pages. You will love these characters, the evocative places/times; it has that quality Main Street does in Disney World, except you lose a bit of your innocence along the way. Growing up in wartime, and harboring personal secrets, makes up the mainframe of this story, and it is absolute insanity that this beautiful, simple book has been out of print for nearly two decades. Try it; you will not regret it.
