Hats Off! to Jill Caugherty whose debut novel Waltz in Swing Time was selected as a 2020 recommended read by Jon Sealy, founder and publisher of Haywire Books. "This debut novel is about (a) Depression-era musician in Utah, and it bounces between the character’s coming of age and the end of her life in assisted living. I like a novel with a big American canvas, a book that efficiently gives you the scope of a person’s life. That to me is what the best of fiction does."
