A Modern Southern Fiction Novel
The last thing Jack Hartman should’ve done was leave the beautiful Gulf Coast and move to the Mississippi Delta. Despite his uncle’s warnings that he is being foolish and idealistic, Jack flees the family business and a broken love affair, only to find himself become a beacon of hope for the people of Tallahatchie.
Contemporary Southern Fiction and dark comedy at its finest, Tallahatchie is a story about a colorful group of rural southerners and Jack’s attempt to save the failing furniture factory where they work. With a cast of characters that become as real as they are quirky, author Rick DeStefanis weaves a tale that is as incredibly hilarious as it is tragic.
A Reader’s Review of Tallahatchie
5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect read!

I started reading after I got home from work. After a few pages I was hooked and didn’t stop until the sun came out and I was finished.
Tallahatchie is a masterfully woven story that moves your heart. He writes of love, loss, heartbreak and pain interspersed with laugh out loud moments.
I only wish the story continued as I was sad to put it down. This is a book that will remain on my bookshelf with other treasured reads to be re-read again and again over the years.
