About the Book

"Kaufman is a fantastic writer with a distinctive poetic touch... It will be the rare reader who will not be moved by this soulful, poignant novel." -Kirkus Reviews "It's a powerfully rendered novel that holds the rare ability to traverse genres to attract a wider audience of reader than the 'historical fiction' label portends." -Midwest Book Review In 1897, dying professor August Simms arrives in Rhome, Texas, drawn by newspaper reports of mysterious airships soaring across the state. Seeking one final adventure before cancer claims him, he returns to the boarding house where his wife died fifteen years earlier-the same night an innocent black man was lynched for a crime he didn't commit. As August investigates the airship sightings, he discovers that the echoes of that long-ago injustice still reverberate through the small town. When the boarding house proprietor Nadine Martin and her friend Abigail Williams face a new kind of mob violence, August must choose between the safety of his remaining days and standing up for what's right. Set against the backdrop of one of America's first documented UFO flaps, A Persistent Echo weaves together mystery, history, and the enduring power of human courage in the face of hatred.

2023 American Writing Awards Winner - Historical Fiction "Kaufman is a fantastic writer with a distinctive poetic touch... It will be the rare reader who will not be moved by this soulful, poignant novel." -Kirkus Reviews "It's a powerfully rendered novel that holds the rare ability to traverse genres to attract a wider audience of reader than the 'historical fiction' label portends." -Midwest Book Review "This heartfelt story, filled with wit and wisdom, kept me reading late into the night and waking eager for the next page. August Simms, Kaufman's protagonist, will stay with me." -Linda Rosen, author of Sisters of the Vine "...a page-turner with a captivating storyline. (4 out of 4 stars!)" -Online Book Club "Brian Kaufman has woven a tale of friendship, betrayal, and hope. His descriptions of setting and mood are spot on... highly recommended." -Karen Brees, author of Crosswind "The author does an excellent job of painting the currents of bitterness, old memory, and grief just under the surface, and of countering them with a message of real hope in human connection and collective care for each other...poignantly sweet, thought-provoking book about love, found family, and wisdom gained from experience, age, and suffering." -IndieReader "Truly original and touching...A remarkable feat...A deeply moving story with an intriguing mystery and a touching portrait of regret and redemption at its heart. Spectacular." -The Prairies Book Review "Kaufman writes beautifully, with spare prose, well-paced surprises, period-appropriate language, and a sense of foreboding." -Historical Novel Society
