The Rockin' Chair | Steven Manchester
THE ROCKIN' CHAIR is a tightly knit tearjerker a work better than anything Nicholas Sparks has ever written. Jon Land, bestselling author of PANDORA'S TEMPLE THE ROCKIN' CHAIR is a fantastic read! From the opening chapter to the final page, it is a rivoting tale. I highly recommend it. Dorothy Thompson, Editor, The Writers Life One of Steven Manchesters many talents is the ability to create characters that could be your own family or next door neighbor. You feel what they are feeling and you experience the trauma as if you were present on the farm. His description is rich in detail, but just the right balance for you to know about Montana without being superfluous. He writes with poetic magnetism, keeping you enthralled in the story without flashy gimmicks. Its humble, down-home, and a well-written story you wont want to miss. Literarily Illumined You will feel the love, you will get angry and you may cry, so grab a Kleenex or two, but definitely read this book and share it with others-its that good and youll be glad you did. Tome Tender #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER Memories are the ultimate contradiction. They can warm us on our coldest days or they can freeze a loved one out of our lives forever. The McCarthy family has a trove of warm memories. Of innocent first kisses. Of sumptuous family meals. Of wondrous lessons learned at the foot of a rocking chair. But they also have had their share of icy ones. Of words that can never be unsaid. Of choices that can never be unmade. Of actions that can never be undone. Following the death of his beloved wife, John McCarthy Grandpa John calls his family back home. It is time for them to face the memories they have made, both warm and cold. Only then can they move beyond them and into the future. A rich portrait of a family at a crossroad, The Rockin Chair is Steven Manchesters most heartfelt and emotionally engaging novel to date. If family matters to you, it is a story you must read.
