Faraday's Popcorn Factory
“A hopeful tale of love’s power to heal, to create, and to transform.” –Mosaic Magazine
“Faraday’s Popcorn Factory introduces readers to a vivid small-town world where childhood reminiscences and romantic visions meet.” -- Washington Post
“With this rich novel comes a creation story, a hero’s journal and transformation, and a heroine’s understanding of life and love.” –San Antonio Express
“Elegantly cosmic, Gould’s novel is a meditation on the wonders of being and a declaration of purpose and above all, love.” --John A. Williams, author of Click Song and The Man Who Cried I Am
“Sandra Lee Gould is more than a gifted writer. She’s a griot, a myth maker, a shaper of dreams for the new millennium. In this gorgeously written tale that is both simple and complex, both heartbreaking and hopeful, lies a vision of a world that we need as desperately as we need peace, prosperity, and love.” --Reginald McKnight, author of Moustapha’s Eclipse, I Get On the Bus and White Boys and Other Stories
“Faraday’s Popcorn Factory is an enchanting novel, a book for the new age, for all ages, a gem to be enjoyed.” –Oscar Hijuelos, author of Mambo Kings Sing Songs of Love and Fourteen Sisters of Emilio Montez O’Brien
