It is the fifth book of his Americana series that I’ve read, and, although I loved the other four and will definitely reread them at some point,... Continue Reading →
Some words caress you. Others raise a wave of inspiration. Words can motivate and uplift you. They can make you sad, sending you down a memory lane. But there are also words that punch you in the gut and leave you gasping for breath. Words that cut you open and leave you to gradually heal... Continue Reading →
