The Curmudgeons
These stories chronicle the adventures of Ben “Long” Reach, lawyer, and Sam Nixon, doctor, and a host of characters from all walks of life in the unique culture of the quail belt. Now in their early seventies, the South Georgia duo gives retirement no thought. Meeting each weekday for breakfast at Millie’s Diner, they share observations and solve problems for rascals and saints.
Tom Word has the ability with simple words to tell life’s sometimes complicated stories with warmth and wisdom. I can not imagine anyone reading this book without a smile, a tear and a invaluable lesson in human nature. Recommend this book to everyone you know, they will be very grateful. Victoria Stockton
