Customer Reviews

Highly Recommend It! Touching!

What a great read! This book is an excellent source of laughs and tears for all. Not only is it appealing to readers who grew up in the post-Pearl Harbor era, this book touches the soul of readers from all generations. About a dysfunctional family raised by a strong grandmother, this book is truly touching! Topics range from alcoholism to love to death, and leave the reader yearning for more! I look forward to seeing more from the author and reading more about this family, both comical and heart-wrenching.

Goodbye, Geraldine

"Goodbye, Geraldine" is an human interest story showing the growth of a young boy into manhood in spite of obstacles during the post-depression/World War II era. Because I am well familiar with the area and most of the people of which the author writes, I can only verify that Robert J. Morgan has written about the times, the places, and the people exactly as they were. The story will bring tears to your eyes as well as chuckles and smiles to your face. It's a story of growth, honor, humility, faith, hope, and love. Above all it is the author's verification that all things are indeed possible in this great country of America. May I encourage all to read "Goodbye, Geraldine". You too will hope that Mr. Morgan plans to treat us to a second book.

A Very Special Book

I received Goodbye, Geraldine in the mail yesterday. I must confess I was skeptical of it because it had come so highly recommended. But as I finished reading it this morning I realized just what a wonderful book this is. Mr Morgan writes from the heart, sharing his life and family with all of us. You feel as if you've known a lot of these people for most of your life. It gives you a good feeling, and hope that there are truly happy endings if you just look for them. MORE!! Mr Morgan, Give us MORE!!!

Goodbye Geraldine

What an amazing book. It is one of those books that when you start reading you can't put it down. Your living life with the author as he takes you into what it was like growing up in Duluth in a family that was just a little different. At times I had tears of joy, other times tears of anger, and still other times, tears of sadness. I would say the book is a cross between "Angela's Ashes" and "Tuesdays With Morrie". Both books that I rate as some of the best I have ever read.I think it is a must read for anyone who grew up in the 50's, 60's, or 70's with a brother(s) and or sister(s) right around the same age. You get an idea of just how simple life was for you and your sibling while at the same time, just how serious it was. It was obvious to me that the author really put emotion into each page, and you could feel his emotions right with him as you read. It's the type of book that I did not want it to end. After reading it, there will be a number of people mentioned and described in the book that you will wish you had the opportunity to meet.Excellent!!!

From Valley To Mountain Top

I just finished reading the newly released "Goodbye, Geraldine" by Robert J. Morgan and found myself wanting more. This book will surely be on the NY Best Sellers List, and am confident that it will go into your favorites collection as well. It's an American success story, which will be magical on your heart and your mind. Taking nothing away from "Angela's Ashes", "Goodbye, Geraldine" delivers courage, strength and hope out of hardship and despair in a way that "Angela's Ashes" could not.
