“ It is true that the places we come from shape us, and that they have a healing quality when they are at their best.” I can already tell that this is a line that will be stuck in my head for some time.

I appreciated this review and found myself wanted to read the book if only to resonate (like you did) with Denver street names and Comedy Works. The larger connection to the spiritual was a thoughtful mediation on the lack of distinction between sacred and secular. I agree and firmly believe God points us to Himself not just in hymns. Thanks for this post and I look forward to reading more of what you put out!

Beautifully written. The story is discovered by the reader rather than told. The moral fleshed out and realized in the same way Billy Ray discovers the truth about himself. It hits you. You’re knocked off balance. And, you either face yourself and stay in the discomfort or run.
