The Simple Soul of Susan Book Review

“Simple is as simple loves.”

Susan Combs had long ago found the love of her life. The only problem was the other party still didn’t know he had been found. 

Every day Susan saw Calder Hurtz, her next door neighbor and childhood best friend. They always enjoyed the short drive to school down the dusty streets of their small Texas town. She was happy in those perfect moments, for her life at home was most imperfect. The challenging homestead she inhabited was also the favorite subject of local gossip.

But one autumn day she overhears two boys having a conversation. This occasion of accidental audience sets Susan’s life on an unforeseen path. In the seasons to come, her future will be changed by two hospitalizations, two confessions of love, and one betrayal.

Compulsively readable, The Simple Soul of Susan is an engaging, soul-endearing romance and a mesmerizing debut.

Sue's Review 

WOW - another new author for me (Noel Branham) and OMG was I impressed with his writing.

In the small town of Walnut Springs, Texas, Susan Combs is seventeen, a senior in high school, and lives with her uncle who is confined to a wheelchair.  Susan (with the help of her neighbors - the Hurtz family) takes care of her uncle.  Susan is close friends with Calder Hurtz - who is also a senior in high school.  They attend the same school in Walnut Springs ISD.  The story covers things that happen during the senior year - and the relationship between Susan and Calder.  I don't write spoilers -- but OMG, this is an amazing story!!!  It is definitely one of those books that you will find hard to put down until you read the last page!!!

Born and raised in a small Texas town, Noel Branham started her career
in digital communications after graduating with a degree in English. An
award winning communicator, she now writes from her home in Florida about
things closest to the heart: home, family, and love. Her debut novel will
