Sun on the Wall

Reviews

[Kellyt · Rating 2 out of 5]

Would give it a 2.4 if I could on Goodreads. A below average book for Overholser. Written in the form of a fictional autobiography of a man living in Cheyanne, WY when the Transcontinental Railroad was built through the area. It never really held my attention, more of a slog for me to get through it.
