My Country Roads
By Lou Brown and Janie Buck
Lou Brown’s style has an elfin quality and childlike wonder but is never childish. Great love burst from each page of these lovely reflections. Her love of nature, and all things God made is truly inspiring. You cherish this book and pick it up time and again and share it with loved ones. No gloomy days can get you down when you read this, for Mis’ Lou relates the glories of God with all the beauty of a simple walk in the woods, and with the fervor of a climb to the stars. The striking use of homely observations curve the phrases into a rainbow, depositing a pot of gold at the end of each brief chapter.
