The Shepherd of the Hills

I read this one for book club. It's a good story, not great, but good. It had a little twist at the end that tied everyone together which I enjoyed. I guess you can never know what kind of impact you may have on people, for good or bad. There was a cute little love story as well. A couple of the main characters pass on, which I always like about books. Good books always seem to have some sort of sad truth, unlike the movies which are always happily ever after. I think the sad elements make books more real and personable. It was a quick read. Worth it if you just want a simple, old fashioned story about the Ozarks.
