Yeah yeah yeah i know the year is still new but i have to say this anyway....CIRCLES IN THE WATER is right at the top of the list of best books for 2014. ( i've read 12 so far )
Do you remember back in the day when we hung out with our best pals all the time.... and the neighborhood was our world ? No matter where you grew up the idea is the same.... You KNEW whose folks would feed you, and whose you shied away from. Where the best tree climbing was, and who had the best 'hanging out' yard. Life in Conway S.C.was like that for Jimmie,Colletta, Donnie and Ray-Gene. Life was simple and slow..but.. the older they got the more 'real' life intruded. And through Robert Hays' words we watch it unfold.
The characters pop off the pages....you sense the subtle changes...and you'll wind up reminiscing about the what we consider to be our good ol' days.
Read the story as seen through the eyes of Jimmie, his growing love of Colletta, the fear, the excitement, the let-downs, and the ultimate demise of childhood dreams.
