Waffle House Waffles

I had the privilege of being asked to read an ARC and endorse KINFOLK, and wow, this heartfelt storytelling is masterful and genuine and takes you into the South in a way only Sean can do. Read my endorsement below!

🧇 Also, KINFOLK inspired these copycat Waffle House Waffles!

“Sean Dietrick is a master at creating Southern characters who are relatable in their brokenness, hope, and perseverance. Laugh-out-loud colloquialisms bring sincerity and realism to small-town life. Kinfolk spins both a heartbreaking and heartwarming tale about family, redemption, second chances, and the power of love that moves us all.”

❤️ Special thanks to Harper Muse @harpermusebooks for the opportunity!
