I love the book I’m reading right now: A Trail of Heart’s Blood Wherever We Go by Robert Olmstead. I’ve read one other of his, Coal Black Horse, that was amazing as well. I’ll post a review here when I’m done, but for now, an appropriate quote. Someone’s pet monkey has just died by jumping into fresh-poured concrete:
Cody looks up at Stan.
“I’m sorry about your monkey,” he says.
“Looked to me like it was his own fault,” Stan says. “Sometimes I wondered who was chained to who.”
