Product Overview

I Hear Smoke! 

By: Dr. Sherry A. White

About the Book

I Hear Smoke! is a blistering recount of how two families collide (the Halfacre’s and the Toogood’s) as they survive the underbelly of the rural south from the 1930s through 1975. The multi-generational saga is riddled with humor, secrets, hardships, gut-wrenching loss, and self-acceptance. The historical references of the period’s pop culture and winding path of humorous, cleverly written short story-like chapters will keep readers spellbound from start to finish. I Hear Smoke! is an explicit reminder to some readers of positive and not so positive nostalgia from their childhood.

Dr. White is a proud graduate of the University of Alabama. She has worked as CEO for a charity serving children and adults with developmental disabilities for the past thirty plus years.

    Finished reading "I Hear Smoke!". Was not prepared for the ending. This quick read brought back so many memories of growing up in the South. You learn so much about the characters as they narrate each chapter from their perspective. Awesome job Sherry White!

    I Read & I Love, I Hear Smoke!

    Posted by Washington on Jun 19th 2023

    I Hear Smoke! was an overall great read. By having chapters with different characters’ points of view, it helped give a colorful depiction of what it was like growing up in rural Alabama. From the young and outspoken Ali to the loving and often-misunderstood character Loucandy, I thoroughly enjoyed this book in its entirety. I Hear Smoke! made me laugh and cry, but most importantly made me feel as if I was part of a small country community that always has the ability to find the humor and tenderness within the hardships of everyday life.

    Brilliant. Short story-like chapters with smooth transitions between. I felt I understood the relationships and the community as a whole ( both as one). Connected with the characters and was left wanting to know what happened to those who had to carry on…a sequel or two in the future?
