A Talk with Robert Goolrick

heading out to wonderfulHeading Out to Wonderful is Robert Goolrick’s latest book, after his best selling book A Reliable Wife. And tonight he appeared in my area at the Augusta County Library for a fundraising event for the Friends of the Library. It was a pretty small crowd, unfortunately, but Goolrick gave a nice talk about how the idea for the book came about. And then he read from Chapter 2.

I picked up a copy and plan to read it soon.
