House of Prayer No. 2: A Writer's Journey Home by Mark Richard

3.0

Took me a while to get into this book. I am glad that I kept reading. I liked the story better once he got into his college years and beyond. Maybe by this time I had gotten accustomed to his one or two sentence description of an entire episode in his life. It is interesting how those few sentences were well crafted without unnecessary words. Some of the sentences were especially beautiful in the way the descriptions were written. One of my favorites comes in the story of boys taking a kickball onto an iced over pond and falling through the ice. “Nearby the kickball sat on the ice in the melting sun.” Interesting life.
