Back to the Garden: The Goal of the Journey
May 14, 2011

Back to the Garden: The Goal of the Journey
By author: Jackie K. Cooper
Publisher: Mercer University Press
Publication Date:  2011
ISBN: 9780881462340

I have several of Jackie's books and every one is a truly pleasant reading experience. 

A true Southern Gentlemen, with the sensibilities that go along with that title, Jackie takes everyday events in his life and describes them with warmth, humor and with a little bit of wisdom thrown in there. 

He extolls common sense ideals and goals to strive for. How to take a simple idea lodged in the back of your head (I could perhaps be a writer) and bring it forth and reach for that goal (I WANT to be a writer).  When he mentions how he started out as  a movie and book reviewer....  well, perhaps I perked up a little.  :)

He laments the loss of simpler times.  Times when a child would only have some croquet mallets and cuckleburry balls to entertain (and perhaps injure!) each other with in the yard all day instead of whining that the latest video game isn't pleasing. 

A lovely book filled with stories that make you smile.........and think.

Welcome to the Dew Book Review Section!

Welcome to the Book Review Section at the Dew!

If you are a publishing house or author who has a book Southern in nature, or by a Southern writer, that you would like the Dew to review, please contact me at dewonthekudzu@gmail.com and I will provide you mailing information. (Wink wink, nudge nudge... the Dew has been getting a little lax about the Southern rule recently... just saying.)

The Dew tries it's best to have a review online as close to the publication date as possible, depending on the number of books waiting for review.

Please note, book reviews are the Dew's "business". The Dew does NOT post it's reviews on other sites. Please do not request that we do so. Thank you.

BUT, if I review your book, you may feel free to share it wherever you wish!
