Great read by insightful author. Loved reading the hidden stories of western New York. My book was not damaged from the shipping process.

Loved these short stories set in NY, where I grew up, and recognized the sights and sounds in the voices of the authors. Very compelling stories. Well done!

This is an enjoyable read from a local author. I live in the area that this book is written and the author does a great job describing not only the area but the characters. A great historical fiction.

A wonderful collection of well-written stories, at once entertaining and insightful into human nature. The characters portrayed could as easily be found in my small hometown as in any large city. Mr Moss brings a real sense of humor to his tales and I found myself chuckling frequently. I enjoyed the book immensely.

These books are great for discovering local emerging writers! I found this book because I'm a fan of Karina Pinella, one of the published authors.

Her piece, Ahead on a Stick, is poignant, well-written and a reflection of modern city life - this short story is not to be missed.

Take a read and you will not be disappointed!

I love the County Chronicles series. Each volume has a group of individual "stories". I have learned so much about the local areas. Being a resident of SW PA, this has been a great read for me. I love history, but these stories are not only educational Ceane makes them so interesting to read.

Ford County: Stories is a wonderful collection of short stories, loosely connected to one another, creating a word-picture of Grisham's imaginary Southern small town.  Although his novels are fun to read, his short stories really show his craft as a writer.  He deftly places his characters in scenarios that are offbeat and yet familiar.

I can't imagine what the reviewer who found the book "depressing" was thinking--I found the stories to be a rather gentle look at imperfect people in difficult situations.  A few days after I finished, I picked the book up to check on something and found myself re-reading the whole thing.

I loved reading these stories of a police officer from another time. His love of children, his community and his job come shining through.  The book is all short stories of his experiences as an officer in the 1960's and 1970's.  It is an enjoyable, fun read.

This is a good read including local history and an interesting story. I found this book to be interesting and informative with a nice story to enjoy at the same time.

This is a great look into the local thoughts in this area, base loosely one  family's memoirs.  The geography of the area is well integrated into the story.  But, it also cast a strong bias on the settlers, probably correct, but makes one wonder how little we have come today.  Writing is also simplistic, but a fun read.

Great reading especially for locals.  What is still a very quiet, safe community out east, Cutchogue became a dreadful place of fear and murder.  I found it interesting that people would pay a fee to enjoy a day out to visit the jail. I am glad that this is no longer a practice.
