Charlotte Observer
Michael White transports readers to the chaotic years before the Civil War in Soul Catcher...Reminiscent of Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn -- both in subject (slavery) and in combining an arduous physical journey with the protagonist's interior moral journey -- the story gallops with action yet also examines such themes as race, honor and redemption...Michael White's eloquent prose rarely draws attention to itself, and his extensive historical research creates evocative descriptions of the people, places and even products of the mid-19th century...Soul Catcher is an exceptional novel from an experienced literary craftsman.
