Memory's Keep

by James Everett Kibler

Book Overview

"James Kibler makes no bones about it. Memory's Keep is an all-out, full-hearted, sentimental paean to the golden days that were, or might have been, or surely should have been. Anyone who likes the smell of newly turned April dirt, of green fields simmering in summer heat, of freshly planed walnut, will love every page of this fondly authored book." --Fred Chappell, author of I Am One of You Forever

Customer Reviews

A beautifully-written book, full of wisdom

If you want a book with a lot of action, this isn't the book for you. If you want to meet people you care about in a book and find wisdom to nourish your soul, you will enjoy this book. I am anxious to read the author's other books.

FROM THE SOIL OF THE SOUTH

IF YOU OWN WALKING TOWARDS HOME AND LIKED IT YOU WILL LIKE MEMORY'S KEEP EVEN MORE. IF YOU DON'T OWN WALKING TOWARDS HOME YOU WILL WANT IT AFTER READING MEMORYS KEEP. IT IS A BOOK I FOUND I COULD NOT PUT DOWN FOR LONG. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRIGGERFOOT AND MR. PINK EXPLORES COMMON BONDS BETWEEN RURAL FOLKS OF THE SOUTH. IF YOU WERE RAISED AROUND COUNTRY FOLKS IT WILL BE LIKE A VISIT BACK HOME. IF YOU HEARD THESE KIND OF STORIES GROWING UP YOU CAN ADD ANOTHER ONE TO YOUR TREASURE CHEST. THESE RELATIONSHIPS EXISTED THEN AND EXIST TODAY IN THE SOUTH,THOUGH THEY ARE NOT AS PROMINENT BECAUSE OF "PROGRESS" AND THE PAVING OVER OF THE RURAL SOUTH. HOW DO I KNOW? BECAUSE I KNEW FOLKS AND STILL KNOW FOLKS LIKE MR. PINK AND TRIGGERFOOT AND THEIR FAMILIES. IF ALL YOU KNOW OF THE SOUTH IS THE USUAL TRASH IN THE FISHWRAP OR THE T.V. GARBAGE THAT IS DOSED OUT DAY AND NIGHT THIS BOOK WILL BE A MYSTERY TO YOU. BUT IF YOU WERE RAISED IN THE SOUTH AND AT LEAST KNEW OF FOLKS LIKE THIS YOU WILL WANT MEMORYS KEEP.
