ldquo;Even after dark; if you are quiet and attentive; you can hear a Killdeer far off. Sandbars; mud flats and grazed fields are where you find them. They are commonplace. So much so; that you might miss them if not for the unique sound they make as they fly overhead; or dart back and forth on the ground; as if wondering which way to go next. So it is with Michael Cotterrsquo;s stories. They are like a comfortable pair of slippers. Not flashy at all; but each time you put them on and walk in them; you are so glad you did. They appear so ordinary; but the way they wrap around your soul surprises you. And like slippers you thought yoursquo;d never buy; Michaelrsquo;s stories surprise you. Even though they are not flashy; energetic or dramatic in ways we have come to expect in this digital age; they are grounded in universal truths; with timeless characters. They provide us with a sense of memory; wisdom and peace that celebrates the human spirit; and revels in the common man; woman; boy and girl that is in us all. When Michael tells his stories; itrsquo;s as if time stands still. We are reminded of who we really arehellip;.down deephellip;.after the television is turned off; the radio is silenced; and we have put our egos on the shelf to rest a spell.rdquo; --Rex Ellis; Director of Museum programs; Smithsonian Institution; Washington; D.C.

Never read past first 20 pagesBy Catherine RuckertPurchased book because of academic requirements. Not what I needed. Neither enjoyable nor useful. I wouldnt recommend this to anyone except the authors mother; and then only after a stiff gin and tonic.
