"Somewhere in here is something that will make you laugh, or something that will make you think, or something that will make you vigorously nod your head. Maybe even all three. I've worked to capture a sample of myself and my world, in order that you may look at it and see something that affects you and yours. Probably just in a small way—maybe in a big one."
--Timothy Goddard, Preface
"When I picked up Mr. Goddard's book, I expected some well written, well thought out essays, and enjoyable stories. These I found. What I also found was writing which contained surpising wisdom, considering the unassuming title."
--Steven McMullen, Amazon.com review
"Some writers spend years finding their voice. Tim is one of the lucky few who found his niche early and ran with it. Even considering my expectations of an enjoyable job, my admiration for Tim as an author has grown considerably. The longer I spent sifting through his writing, the longer I wanted to linger. "
-- Kelly Belich, Foreword
"So go on—read the book. With a build-up like that, I had better have something worthwhile to say, right?"
--Timothy Goddard, Preface
