Customer Reviews
Highly inspirational
This is an amazing 'chronicle" of the life of Charlie Dobyns, created soon after his parents (Pa and Ma) married in 1872. It was a poignant, heartbreaking and yet compelling story. Charlie had to be strong at a very young age, when tragedy hit his family. He is a remarkable hero of the story, but not just to the plot, but to his family. The clinging of his siblings as he takes the reins to take care of his family is remarkable and triumphant. I loved this story and it was so well written. I felt so engrossed in the story, that I was transported to a time where I could've been Charlie's shadow. Highly recommended and inspirational story!
