Bryson City Tales by Walt Larimore
Reviewed by: Viveka E. Neveln
With a confiding, conversational tone, Dr. Larimore brings you along to this
bucolic Smoky Mountain town. Strong, concrete detail and lively, idiomatic
dialogue bring the story's setting and characters to life. He imbues the
narrative with meaning as he examines and reflects upon his role as a "trained
professional" who is as prone to doubts, imperfections, and frailties as
anyone else.

A Man Named Dave
is an inspiring story of terror, recovery, and hope author David Pelzer
experienced throughout his life. His previous memoirs of growing up as an
abused child (
A Child Called "It"
and
The Lost Boy
) have touched thousands of lives. Ultimately
triumphant, this book will have you living through the eyes of a terrified
child, a struggling young man, and an adult finally forgiving his dying father--reading
with tissues nearby is recommended.
