was on a road trip and also because I want to savor all of it. I am sorry that I finished it.

A few months ago, I ordered a copy of Mark Spragg's book, Where Rivers Change Direction because I had read high praise for the book and I have a thing about Western writing. Well, the print was so small that I couldn't read it so I passed it along to a friend who LOVED it so I loaded an e-copy of Mr. Spragg's book, An Unfinished Life last night and got started. I am hooked! I love the characters, the style of writing and the story line. He has several other books, so I'm glad to have discovered a new writer. I think fans of Ivan Doig and Kent Haruf will enjoy Mark Spragg.
