Synopsis

Sitting in a jail cell, uncertain of his innocence, Hume Rankin finds himself lost and a long way from home as he recalls dismissing the blind old negro woman’s warning and is haunted by the possibility that he may have played a part in how own demise.

PRAISE FOR CURING TIME

“. . a multilayered and multifaceted story that would make a wonderful movie. Although it is rooted in the rural South, I believe it is a story with universal appeal. People should not think this is just a story about tobacco farming, because it is so much more than that.” —Reader Review

“I loved Curing Time. With absorbing artistry, Tim Swink depicts the mid-life struggles of a single character to weave a multifaceted tale of love and friendship, of bitter rivalry and murder, of human weakness and the magical power of life itself. As he chronicles the changes sweeping over rural America (and the nation) in the late 1950’s, Swink paints one of the truest portraits of race relations during that era that I have read. Full of great detail and insight into how a troubled soul affects all around it, Curing Time marks the arrival of a talented new Southern writer.” —J. Peder Zane, author and former book review editor, Raleigh News and Observer
