“To know George Durrant brings smile to one’s face. His whit, humor, and keen intellect makes it a joy to be in his presence. To know Susan Easton Black commands a reverential awe as she reveals her near-photographic memory and unparalleled ability to recall, weave, and thrill tens of thousands with stories from the past. However, this book is allowing us to see a part of this ‘dynamic duo’ not heretofore seen. Wesley not only comes to life but reveals an insight into human nature as he interfaces with the citizens of Rooster Creek. With every person trying his or her best to be honest, Wesley’s unhinged, scripture-quoting, fanatical rants, causes each person to face the reality whether it is better not to be completely honest in view of the unforeseen consequences.
Although not a ‘preachy’ book, Wesley causes the thoughtful reader to frequently ask: ‘What would I do in a similar situation?’ The multiple threads are artfully woven with more than a few unexpected twists and turns. But it isn’t until the very end when each major player confronts his or her ‘lie’ that the beautiful tapestry is revealed.
You will love reading this book—you won’t be able to put it down.”
