Review:

"The most extraordinary people are the seemingly ordinary ones. Simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking, Oradell is one of the best, most fully drawn characters you'll every have the privilege of meeting." Silas House, author "Clay's Quilt"

""Oradell at Sea" is an entertaining, fast-paced book that pulls the reader in." Sharon Hatfield, "Journal of Appalachian Studies"

From the Back Cover:

This contemporary novel takes place in two main settings: on a cruise ship and through flashbacks to the narrator's fictional West Virginia hometown. The transitions from present to past are well done and help the reader see how a now-wealthy woman came to her current view of the world. It also shows why she has such difficulty handling her present crisis. This well-crafted story, told by an older woman, but filled with interesting characters of all ages from West Virginia and around the world, will appeal to the general fiction reader. However, residents of West Virginia will be particularly fascinated as the narrator's story unfolds.
