A barbershop called J. Bird's? Haha! I see what you did there Mr. Peterson.

"To have everything but money is to have much." -Wendell Berry

"It seems plain that the voice of our despair defines our hope exactly; it seems, indeed, that we cannot know of hope without knowing of despair, just as we know joy precisely to the extent that we know sorrow."

"In essence, there is only one thing God asks of us--that we be men and women of prayer, people who live close to God, people for whom God is enough. That is the root of peace. We have that peace when the gracious God is all we seek. When we start seeking something besides him, we lose it."

Loving it so far. The short story format is kind of fun.

So, I finally caught up to being able to read this. Embarrassing to win an advance copy only to not get to it until long after it's release, but what's done is done. Let's do this thing and make it book 13 for the year.

It all just went sideways.

They named the colony Roanoke?? And Jane is wondering about leaving home? If this all ends in tears, I will be ticked.

Nearing the end. I wonder how Jared gets out of this one. Unless it's leading up to one of those nihilistic endings. Man, I hope not.

Definitely picking up now. It'll be interesting to see how Boutin and Dirac end up.

Cutting right through this one, and loving it so far.
