A Variety of Great Reads for You!
Here is an interesting memoir told with humor and affection. A String Too Short to Tie by Dale A. Morgan.
Life has changed dramatically since Dalinda lived here on the family farm where generations before her had toiled and created a legacy for future generations. Unlike her sister whose roots were still firmly embedded in this drought-stricken farm community, Dalinda moved north to Wisconsin where she’d created a life and family of her own. It was far different from the lifestyle she’d left behind many years ago.

Maybe a contemporary novel is more to your liking. Read this intriguing book, Shattered by Thomas Cannon. It may be the perfect fit for you.
When Mikey Haskell’s fiancée leaves him, rage and self-imposed guilt continue to build until, at a turning point, he begins to retreat into the animalistic id of his consciousness. Tom Cannon creates an excellent story that is both grotesque and beautiful and outlines the mental breakdown of man and how it affects relationships and the idea of personal responsibility.
