“Barbours Cut is a literary journey that captivates the reader from the onset, weaving a rich tapestry of triumph, emotion, and wit. Following the remarkable rise of Clyde Barbour, this enthralling tale not only entertains but educates, providing valuable insights into seizing opportunities and navigating life’s complex paths. The fusion of romance, suspense, and humor breathes life into a rags-to-riches story that resonates with real human experience. Clyde Barbour’s wisdom and humanity make him a relatable and inspiring figure. You won’t want to put this book down; it’s a guide and companion for anyone seeking to flourish in life with grace and intelligence.”
Peggy McColl, New York Times Bestselling Author
“Nancy Potter draws on a wealth of family history to bring this unique story to life. It is the rags-to-riches story of her great-grandparents’ lives around the turn of the 20th century. It reads like historical fiction but then, inserted among the pages, are amazing, vintage photographs of the real characters, reminding the reader that this is a true story. Nancy’s wealth of knowledge and attention to detail add much credibility to this remarkable story. I couldn’t put it down.”
Willard Howe, Author of the International bestseller, Sticks in the Clouds.
“I was roped into the story from the very first page and didn’t want to put it down. Barbours Cut has a great combination of rags-to-riches story, suspense, romance, humor, real human emotion, and one of my favorite elements, insight into how someone with a poor back- ground was able to spot one opportunity after another and capitalize on them. Clyde Barbour is a good role model for almost anybody on how to get ahead in the world in an intelligent and humanistic way.”
Mike Rydin, Former HCSS CEO
“As it takes you down the Mississippi River and then to Texas, Mexico, and New York, Barbours Cut is so engrossing and at times so grip- ping that you completely forget it’s a story about real people and their lives. Nancy Potter brings to life people whose voices you can hear and emotions you can feel, she evokes them all so vividly that you feel you’re in the room with them.”
Judy O’Beirn, President, Hasmark Publishing Intr.
“Growing up in south Louisiana I can appreciate the many references to the Louisiana culture and hospitality. In our current generation we don’t fully appreciate the vision and hard work of so many great leaders before us, that built the infrastructure we rely on today! Ms Potter does a wonderful job of making history personal.”
Amazon Kindle Review
“It’s a great read. Nancy Potter weaves stories about our shared ancestors I had learned over the years (and many I didn’t know) into a seamless, whirlwind trip through history. She brings to life these characters (real, long-gone people) as they rise out of the pages, take ahold of my imagination, and transport me back in time to join them on their bigger-than-life adventure.”
