This was a pretty good read, I have now read a couple books by Robert James Waller & have enjoyed both of them. I haven't read his most famous one The Bridges of Madison County but will probably have to get around to it at some point. This book fits in with that one--not sure if before or after and the jacket mentions that some of the characters do carryover. A guy that is an artist like carpenter is roaming the country & ends up in small town South Dakota, buys a cheap old 1 room farmhouse & some acres and rebuilds the farmhouse into something amazing for those parts. Bad politicians have been behind the scenes working on putting an interstate through from Canada to New Orleans and he starts to fight this. Throw in some Indian burial grounds & legends and a couple ladies and some bad local guys and here it is. Took a little while to get it moving but was a good story overall.
Already 10 copies in system so this will go to the donate away pile.
