I somehow shared his nostalgia throughout the read.

The author beautifully conveys what we “carry” with us as we’ve scouted, hunted, played, invented, loved and lived.

Sense memory prose is difficult to pull off without overt sentimentality- but RHJ’ details keep surprising me and I felt clear memories and a full heart.
Matthew’s painting is beautiful

Best line “it was exciting and wrong. They did it two more times, then stopped”. Ha! I laughed out loud!

Poetic. Things change. But our heart, soul, and body remembers. Moving story. And the painting set the mood so well.

Jones knows how to intoxicate while weaving tales.

It evokes reality and a world this reader grew up in and loved. Rob Jones just keeps getting better.
