God's Whisper [Paperback]

Dennis Barone (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 15, 2005

With God's Whisper the question was can I write a story about something I know very deeply, something from which I have no distance? And so this fiction is about road racing, distance running. In God's Whisper the explanation of the title appears often. This story is silly, funny, I hope with brief scenes separated by quotations from Emerson's essay on friendship, for I also mean this work to be a story of friendship and what that means. Dennis Barone
