Tales from the Hills and Hollers by Arlen Davidian

Recently I received a book called Tales from the Hills and Hollers by Arlen Davidian, that had been personally signed by the author.  I learned that Davidian has written for magazine and newspapers for years, resulting in his coming across many people’s stories in the process.  Tales from the Hills and Hollers is a compilation of these stories that he has wandered across in his day-to-day life. Especially about people in the rural areas of the central United States.

The 'tales' in this book are funny and charming. Many times while reading I would think of someone I know that could easily be the one in the situation being described.  Some of the stories are hilarious, some heartwarming while others are downright sad but all will reach out and touch your heart, reminding you of the good values and simplistic lifestyle that is revered by those that live in the country.

In today’s world, everything has gotten so complex.  People are mean and unable to be trusted as neighbor or friend.  It's encouraging to read a book like this and allow yourself to be transported to a simpler time where people are helpful and have someone else's best interest at heart.

I suggest you sit back, put your feet up in front of a roaring fireplace and enjoy the journey in Tales from the Hills and Hollers by Arlen Davidian as you are transported to a place where you can enjoy stories about people in rural America.

I recommend you get this book. It is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Learn more about the book and the author on his website: http://www.talest40.com/
