Kent Haruf sure knows how write about the common man and everyone's personal struggles in life. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of his books but fair warning. If you are the least bit depressed and have a gun in your home, this is not the book for you. There are sweet, happy moments, but they are fleeting. Plainsong and Eventide were far more uplifting, and I heartily recommend them as well.
