The subject matter of these books were not something I would appeal to (I personally don’t prefer historic fiction) but looking back on them I can definitely say good things.

Ever had a mental “fork in the road?” Of course you have. We all have those tough decisions to make at times. William Stafford’s “Traveling Through the Dark” is about one of those very instances.
