Novel about Texas Heats Up Summer Reading Lists

AUSTIN, Texas - May 28, 2015 - PRLog -- Award-winning novel SHELTER FROM THE TEXAS HEAT by Bobbi Kornblit is a popular choice for summer reading. Set in Dallas and Austin, Texas, during the Kennedy "Camelot Years" to the present, the book highlights the power of friendship and keeping secrets.

Author Kornblit grew up in Dallas and attended the University of Texas. She was inspired by the turbulent sixties, with the assasination of JFK and civil rights. She said, "My novel deals with the effects of the loss of President Kennedy on an ordinary family--on a girl in particular." The life of Rachel Frank unfolds with her best friend, PJ, through their childhood to becoming adults.

The book has been compared in reviews to "The Help" and "The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood." Through laughter and tears, SHELTER FROM THE TEXAS HEAT tells the tales of three generation of women, that are blended together like a tangy hot, subtly sweet barbecue sauce.

Summer special pricing includes the e-book for $3.99 on Kindle and reduced prices for printed books on Amazon.
