Words that mean something.
Michael Perry takes the reader on a journey through thoughts and occurrences of a year in his shoes. He muses small-town living, trying to garden, the resurrection of his old truck, and the joys and nuances of growing in love with a woman and her daughter. Every word means something, even if the format is a curious stream-of-consciousness that can be confusing and altogether amusing. It's truthful and heartfelt the whole way through.
