David Strange is a respected Kentucky author who has written countless stories about local history for newspapers and for two books he cowrote titled “Bullitt County Memories” and “More Bullitt County Memories”. He was also chief editor and contributor for a well-received regional history of United and Missionary Baptist Churches titled “The Old Time Baptists of West Central Kentucky and Their Stories of Faith”.Now well past his seventieth year, Life has allowed him to slow down and thoughtfully participate in the inspirational joy of Nature.
This book is a result of some of those experiences.
“Good Morning” is rooted in the author’s sunrise walks in a beautiful little place called Peaceful Valley. Told in the third person, the old man, named “Good Morning”, and a Canada Goose which he named Godfrey, become closer and closer friends over four years of experiences; learning and sharing Life with each other. They share in Godfrey’s long grief at the loss of his mate, his eventual meeting of a new mate and her “in-laws”, their first eggs and the loss of them to some unknown predator, Godfrey’s first goslings, and the uplifting friendships with other wildlife such as the hilarious “Waddles”, a friendly duck family that includes Godfrey’s ever-faithful duck friend, Wilbur.
The pleasant storytelling style of the author also takes the reader through all sorts of adventures, both exciting and humorous, while subtly touching on lessons in Life and Nature at a pre-teen or child’s level but also interesting to adults. Indeed, it was adults who encouraged the writing of this book. The mood is calming and, agreeable to the Peaceful Valley locale, peaceful. Such a nice surprise in today’s world!
Come with him now in stories both grand and small that any of us can be part of, and learn from, if we only take the time to see.
