Kate’s 2¢: “The Sound of Honor” by Jim Stovall

“The Sound of Honor” by Jim Stovall

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   “…Stovall has endeavored to convince people that having a positive attitude, focusing their energy, and acting upon their motivations can bring positive results in their lives.” 

   I like that this story tells it like it is to become blind, learn to trust again, and venture forth on your own.

   Jon Womastek  did a great job of reading this story for the NLS.
