The Cooling Board By Tamara Angela Grant Peace in the Storm Publishing ISBN: 978-0-9790222-4-1 $15.00 Fiction Boasting well developed characters and a lush 1969 Louisiana setting, The Cooling Board manages to draw the reader into its atmosphere with lively, well-developed, characters and an original story line. Detailed and colorful in description, the Louisiana backdrop of this story seems to leap from the pages. One can almost taste the humidity and smell the country air. The characters, which are three dimensional in nature, extremely colorful and easy to relate to in this novel, experience personal developments through the prodding of a deceased matriarch and her helpful hostess, which creates an atmosphere ripe with chaos. Fresh with perspective, and an easy page turner, this work of fiction is a great recommendation for a leisurely, entertaining read.
