My Book...but I'm willing to share

About the Book

Author’s note It’s been said that there is a good book in the life story of everyone. That’s probably true. I’ve been thinking about that. I think I can agree that every life is important, at least to one person. It’s in the telling of that person’s story that we get sidetracked and bogged down. Telling the story of a person’s whole life can be a daunting thing, because much of a life is not remembered by the time the muse moves the story teller. And what much of the story teller wishes to share may be mundane to others. Even so, I’ve tried to remember the good stuff and not get bogged down too much in minutiae. I hope the reader is gentle and finds the humor, pathos, struggles and gratifications easy to digest. I certainly have. Please enjoy!
