An engrossing collection of tales of family life...

I really enjoy the way Chenowth writes. He has a distinctive voice which carries his stories along. All nine revolve around various members of the Goodpasture family, starting in the mid sixties, and moving along through to present-day. Each story focuses on a different member, although some are more represented than others. Most of the stories have a different location, ranging from Cape Cod to Jacksonville, FL. In each we read of the inner hopes and fears of a character, and explore their lives as they live these out.If you enjoy books with wit and humor, depth and exploration of the relationships between family members, you'll be pleased with this collection.

Humorous tales of an American family.

The main character in this collection is believable and bold in revealing himself, even when his behavior and motives are less than admirable. The style reminded me of Peter Taylor. The stories are humorous ones, about a dysfunctional and divided family, with love and pain which show through the humour.

I'd like to meet this guy for a beer

Old fashioned story telling. A heart about it and a narrative that you just don't see a lot of these days. But about that beer. He pays. right?

A vacation from winter.

I have one more story to read, but I keep putting it off because I don't want this book to end--it is simply delicious. It is so refreshing not to be wading through another pile of modern angst--I just hope that Chenoweth is back at his computer writing another one. This is truly a gem
