This book is inspirational. The words flow in the book like the river of life. Characters become friends, relatives, ourselves. Story lines are life in reality. David's work is like an artist's canvas blending with each word. A definite "must" read and immerse in. When you read his stories they become so vivid you become part of them. The smell of smoke, the night's air at dusk, the sun and heat of the day, the softness of a grandmother's touch. Read it! It will color your world ! Diane Beideck
