Winston Groom recommends
The Golfer's Carol (2020)
Robert Bailey
"A celebration of faith, family, and the human spirit, The Golfer's Carol is a page-turning story of love and second chances that is sure to become a classic."
Armstrong (2018)
(Custer of the West, book 1)
H W Crocker III
"The world has a new hero - actually an old hero reimagined - George Armstrong Custer, in this delightfully funny alternative history that's better, or at least happier, than the real thing."
Acts of Faith (2005)
Philip Caputo
"In Acts of Faith Philip Caputo has fashioned a gripping cast of characters and placed them in a spellbinding story. You can't get any better than that."
