We also got the book flap blurb and cover art for Jeff Zentner’s second novel, Goodbye Days.  Jeff’s Twitter gave us the heads up that the  Jarrod Taylor, who created the cover art for Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman, was the artist.  We get the feeling our hearts will be beautifully broken all over again.
