Tuesdays
are the days I showcase my own work on this blog. Today, I’d like to share a
review recently posted at Prism Book Alliance for Simple Treasures.

Blurb:
Newly released from a mental institution, Simple’s first job is
caring for Emmett, a crusty drunkard dying of cancer on a ranch in Utah.
Simple’s first fragile friendship is with Emmett’s grandson Jude, a gay youth
in Gothic drag who gets nothing but grief from his grandfather. In an attempt
to help both men, Simple, a Shoshone Indian, decides to perform a ceremony that
will save Emmett by transferring his spirit into the body of a falcon.
Working to capture a falcon will bring Emmett and Jude closer as
Jude and Simple’s growing love for each other blossoms, but all is not well.
When the ranch, Jude’s future, and Simple’s happiness are threatened, more than
Emmett’s spirit faces a bleak future.
Review:
Simple Treasures is a beautiful journey with a Simple man with
an old soul. Simple doesn’t have a past, but he knows his grandfather is with
him. Each day, he finds a new future. When that present starts to include Jude
and Jude’s Grandfather, Emmett, Simple uses his old soul, to help Emmett and
himself fly free. Simple approaches each day with the guilelessness of a child
and the depth of character of an ancient.
I don’t really know what else to tell you about Simple’s
journey. There is a depth to him that his name belies. There is a beauty in the
world as he sees it; as Chin describes it. There is a magic in finding one’s
freedom with the help of both love and hate. This is not a story to read when
you want fluff. Simple Treasures is a story you read when you want to be
reminded of the beauty and good in the world.
