While reading this book I cried, sighed, wondered, scratched my head, and laughed a lot. Discovered I had been in many of the small towns in the book. The Christmas stories were the best.
Sean Dietrich is a national treasure. His writing is funny, warm, and uplifting. This book is a collection of his columns and what’s fascinating is they are mostly about people (well, and dogs).
I read this book in 2 days, but I think it would work really well to read a couple of the columns at a time over a longer period of time. There’s no rush, and savoring them might be better than downing them all at once.
4.5 stars. Delightful and might restore your faith in humanity just a little if it’s been lagging lately.
