“A Hunger in the Heart,” a Tuscany Press prize-winner, is my first published novel, so it is very close to my heart–especially because the late, great Winston Groom, a fellow-Alabamian and author of “Forrest Gump,” “Shiloh, 1862,” and many other books, had these kind words to say as an endorsement: Kaye Park Hinckley’s novel, A Hunger in the Heart is a story of hope, forgiveness, and redemption. It is a great read in the tradition of southern fiction.
