Story4.5 out of 5 stars 10
There are certain defining events that occur to people. The sort of things we tend to use as markers in the timetables of our lives. Birth and Deaths. Marriages and Divorces. Windfalls and Calamities. They become the things that other things happen before and after. These events scramble our sensibilities to leave us blinking at the landscape like we've never seen it before. I was exploded at about seven o'clock in the morning, May 27, 1975, down a long, dusty road outside of Medford, Oregon. It's taken this long for all the pieces to come back together again - and here they are.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 50
Growing up in a remote part of Alaska, Ivan and September Crane know that autumn is an unpredictable season - days of clear blue skies can give way to fierce, sudden storms in a blink. They know the trouble signs: changes in the wind, the temperature, or even the color of the dawn. But somehow, this time, left alone when their fisherman father is delayed at sea, even their keen sense of their surroundings and the lessons they've been taught fail them.

In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

There are certain defining events that occur to people. The sort of things we tend to use as markers in the timetables of our lives. Birth and Deaths. Marriages and Divorces. Windfalls and Calamities. They become the things that other things happen before and after. These events scramble our sensibilities to leave us blinking at the landscape like we've never seen it before. I was exploded at about seven o'clock in the morning, May 27, 1975, down a long, dusty road outside of Medford, Oregon. It's taken this long for all the pieces to come back together again - and here they are.

Great bedtime story.
We really enjoyed stories years ago and still love hearing them. The characters are very relatable.

A visit with an old friend..
A lovely visit with an old friend or family member that you haven’t seen in quite some time. A chance to catch up on all the news and gossip from your old home town that you didn’t even know mattered to you. By the end of all Tom’s books, you come to know the people, their history, what gets them up and going in the morning, and what settles them in at night. They become your friends and they become important to you, as much as the people you knew decades ago, but have lost touch with.
Spend a little time catching up and getting to know them, again.
