Though autobiographical in nature, the narratives weave a web of common human experiences that will evoke nods of familiarity and smiles of appreciation. From the high expectations of an anniversary cruise to a simple home improvement project run amuck, these stories offer canny perspectives on lifes journey.
Essay collections abound, but few can match the pleasures of Ben Dillows wonderful album. Just interested in good stories? Hes a master story teller, and like Garrison Keillor, he has an eagles eye for warmhearted humor in things we often miss. Whatever your mood or your need, Dillow has a story, a thought, an image, a frozen moment, or a surprising insight that can brighten your day and maybe even change the way you see your own journey.
