PARADISE FOUND, AND LOST: Odyssey In Chile
Eva Krutein
$11.00
ISBN 0-938513-16-8
Amador Publishers, 1994memoir, 241 pp
Sequel to EVA'S WAR, this book tells of the Krutein family's nine years in Chile, where they are warmed by the beauty of the land and the openness of the people. Eva is sensitive to social injustice and machismo, and senses the pending violence of revolution and counter-revolution. As in EVA'S WAR, we see important world-events from a new perspective. These are real people, and the events described are not imaginary. The account mounts to its sharp climax -- the decision that the family must emigrate again.
The family's personal events are intertwined with Chile's social and political history from 1950 to 1989. Krutein witnesses the suffering of children with no future and women under the thumb of machismo, which only fuels her commitment to fight such injustice.--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A cultural and ethical shock -- a time-warp into 18th century charm and brutality -- a rare glimpse into everyday life in Chile before and after Allende, as lived by a German family fleeing the horror and deprivation of mid-20th century Europe. Not a book of statistics or dry reports, but a lively account told with great candor and sensitivity.--Anne Herdt, U.N. Representative, International Council on Social Welfare

Authorhouse, 2004. 650 pages, 30 illustrations, large font print
Pathways Taken lets your experience a firm upbringing on Iowa farms, with insights into a beekeeping project. Medical school, internship and U.S. Public Health Service professional demands are highlighted. A rigorous orthopedic surgery residency is completed on the west and east coasts of the United States before pioneering surgical advances at the Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque. Death of Dorothy, soul-mate and wife, led to romantic adventures before achieving married tranquility and adventures with wife Karen. Opinions and views distilled from life's experiences spark the narratives.
REVIEWS
In a new autobiography by Robert S. Turner, M.D., he tells the varied and interesting stories from his life, starting with his childhood on an Iowa farm though his career as an orthopedic surgeon and beyond. The many anecdotes from his years at medical school, his internship in Phoenix and residencies in San Francisco and Philadelphia color the story with lively stories only physicians can tell. He became the first surgeon in the world to operate in a laminar flow operating room, a special type of clean room, and the first orthopedic surgeon to have patients donate blood for use in their own surgeries. His marriages, trips to countries such as Russia and China and the intense pain at the loss of his first wife to breast cancer are depicted to give readers a well-rounded view of Turner's life. -- Authorhouse

ISBN 0-86534-397-7
Sunstone Press 2004. 232 pp
Set in the glorious wine country north of San Francisco, The Phoenix Society offers cremation services to its members, but hides the more sinister motives of its head, Dr. Curt Wagner. Jim Hammond boldly explores one of the dominant medical conundrums of today in a high-stakes biotech thriller that chronicles the tale of a brilliant surgeon who takes matters in his own hands to save his patients – and to condemn others to a purgatory worthy of Dante. When an equally gifted research scientist, Jason Richards, is ‘exposed’ to his scheme through a medical mishap, the doctor’s carefully disguised organ farm is destined for exposure – and ruin.

It is Balloon Fiesta time and the sky is filled with hot-air balloons of all shapes and colors. Pop Flop's great balloon adventure begins on a chilly October morning: Get up! It's time to see the balloons!
REVIEWS
Small children will love learning about the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta and hot air ballooning. They don’t understand why they have to wake up at a ridiculous hour and dress warmly. This would be a good gift for a kid going ballooning or going to the AIBF. They will understand about putting up and taking down a balloon, zebras, and that you can’t steer a balloon. Nancy Abruzzo knows a thing or two about balloons — she is married to Richard and daughter in-law of famed balloonist Ben Abruzzo. She is a pilot herself. A good book for small kids or a good souvenir to take home. -- Tradicion Revista

Pork Chops - A Collection of Recipes and Reflections is a nostalgic slice-of-life cookbook, one the reader is drawn to as Briggs stories journeys back through her childhood adventures of growing up on an Oregon homestead. Her humorous recounting of raising her children on a Pacific Northwest farm, coupled with the comfortable easiness of those simpler times, touches the heart of the reader.
Pork Chops is a uniquely heart warming cookbook offering a variety of sumptuous home-cooking style recipes that provide wholesome nourishment to the readers soul.
Cynthias interviews with Southwest cooks highlight her ardent belief that through the joy of cooking, all culinary hearts beat as one. She believes through the sharing of our recipes we engage in an ongoing connection with family, friends and acquaintances - bonds we carry with us through our lives.
Reviews
Cynthia Briggs lives in southern New Mexico where she writes a weekly newspaper food column and teaches cooking classes at New Mexico State University-Carlsbad. Her collection of recipes is a comfy and homey one-the recipes interspersed with stories and anecdotes about her friends and family. For example, a recipe called Family Reunion Calico Beans combines bacon, onion, sugar, three kinds of canned beans, hamburger, catsup, brown sugar, salt and beer. These recipes arent particularly health oriented but rather old-fashioned and hearty. Interviews with some local cooks spice up the book. Michael Johnson, owner of Carlsbads My Daddys Bar-B-Q, was influenced by his dad who ran a small Southern catering business from home. His Smothered T-Bone Steak looks basic and tasty-the secret ingredient is Italian dressing. Toni Torrez shares her Fried Fruit Empanadas, along with a glaze of confectioners sugar. Essentially these are all down-home recipes, designed to please a familys palate. The book is fun to read, as well, for its chatty, informal style. -Miriam Sagan, New Mexico Magazine 2004

Reg. price $39.95 hardcover
ISBN 1-890689-21-1
LPD Press, 2001. 128 pages, 50 color, 15 b/w photos
The portfolio was recalled by the Federal Works Project in 1939-40 as being too primitive. This is a long forgotten, but important piece of New Mexico’s history. Boyd is credited with the text and the renderings for this portfolio, which was her first major work in the field of the Spanish Colonial arts.
REVIEWS
For art lovers, historians, bibliophiles and lovers of local color, these beautifully reproduced color and black and white plates printed on high quality stock ensure the survival of this valuable edition for many years to come. -- Southwest BookViews
The history of this book is almost as fascinating as the book itself. The WPA commissioned the Portfolio in 1937 and many area artists hand-colored the prints, which came with a booklet by E. Boyd. There were 200 numbered copies that were to be distributed by the government. A few copies were sent out to schools but when the bureaucrats took a second look at the New Mexico santos, tinwork, altar screens and straw crosses, they decided this strange work of art should be destroyed. Today there are probably not more than thirty copies left. LPD got their copy through eBay. By reproducing this Portfolio, they have rescued and preserved an important part of New Mexico's artistic heritage. There are fifty color plates and fifteen in balck and white. This new edition is appropriately dedicated to Eliseo and Paula Rodríguez. Eliseo is the last remaining artist of those who worked on the original project. -- Enchantment

A Private War
Stephen Hazlett
Reg. price $15.95
ISBN 1-59113-844-2
Booklocker.com, 2005. 252 pages
Thomas Kindred left his war behind in 1968, the day he left his Saigon base and became a deserter from the U.S. Army. Thirty years later, he lives the life of an exile in Vancouver, British Columbia, with all thoughts of his old country a distant memory. Then he receives a surprise call from Rick Goody, his closest friend from his Vietnam days, that forcefully reawakens a past Thomas thought he had forgotten.
Rick Goody believes his life is in danger from the militant, anti-war group he has been a part of since leaving Vietnam. When he asks for help, Thomas, with a renewed sense of his old fugitive self, enters the U.S. for the first time in years, rediscovering the country he left behind and finding a resolution of sorts to his own private war.

Prometheus: The autobiography
Uncle River
Reg. price $13.50
ISBN 1-890109-77-0
Cross Quarter Publishing Group, 2003. 163 pages, trade paper
Myth—language of the psyche, before the insurance market ate psychology—need not succumb to a choice between living possessed by fundamentalist fanaticism or soul death of solipsistic fad. The individual is a central figure of our culture’s mythos. Prometheus is a voice who articulates the experience of the individual, out of our peculiar cultural history, which both demanded the individual and persecuted the consciousness that is the individual’s defining feature.
In Prometheus: the autobiography, Uncle River addresses the question of history: where our culture and its characteristic personality structure come from, and where we might be headed, in the language of myth, in the voice of Prometheus, who knows all too well the struggle of the individual to live with that history.
REVIEWS
This is a book with psychological, spiritual and practical depths, that should spark much thought in the reader who cares about humanity’s origins and destinations. -- Paul Di Filippo, Asimov’s Science Fiction
A biologist like myself can see in his words a call for ecological awareness. A mystic might call it something else. Either way, Uncle River... is worth attending. -- Tom Easton, Analog
… We have few sages among us, what with all the distractions in the world, and this sagacious tale needs to be heard and heeded, around campfires, in coffee shops, and in History of the World, Part MMIII undergraduate seminars. -- Kathleen Kesson, Ed.D., Associate Professor of Education, Long Island University

Pug Sheridan
Sandra Cline
Reg. price $15.00
ISBN 0-975455-44-3
Autumn Leaves Publishing, 2004. 275 pages
“Fried Green Tomatoes meets Huck Finn.” Pug Sheridan proves herself to be a lively protagonist and sure-footed storyteller in a compelling coming-of-age novel set in turn-of-the-century rural Alabama. With a sassy, first-person voice all her own, Pug chronicles the lives of seven young girls, racially-diverse, who form a secret club, sustained over a decade. Cultural prejudices threaten the forbidden sorority, including a budding KKK. While remaining uplifting, Pug Sheridan is written in a magical realist style often highlighted with supernatural overtones. A page-turner with a rapid pulse, Pug Sheridan will be treasured by readers of all ages.
REVIEWS
The book's believability kept me reading late into the night. I had no trouble believing friends would go to such great lengths to save each other, or that people could be so cruel to each other. The human element rings true, as does the mystical. The first time you look into your future husband's eyes, the world is never the same. Ghosts do exist, I came away believing. And the hair from the tail of a black cat, mixed with good red liquor might just cure the most terrible illness . . . When Sandra Cline decided to leave a successful talk radio career behind to write Pug Sheridan, the literary world was graced with a timeless new heroine. Whether Pug is someday enshrined with the likes of Louisa May Alcott's Jo March remains to be seen. -- Madison, Wisconsin Capital Times
A completely engrossing, deftly written, character-centric coming of age novel ... this is a story about growing up, yes, but more than that, herein readers are treated to hefty themes of friendship, racism, and loss — and love as well. Most of all, though, this is a tale about courage. Cline keeps the pace brisk, and the pages turning, drawing readers in with a strong female lead who never fails to engage . . . Pug Sheridan is a signpost and lighted beacon both, burning ever more brightly than the nighttime sky's most dominant star. -- booxreview.com:
Somewhere, Eudora Welty's smiling. The same could be said for William Faulkner, providing he's sober enough for reading. The reason? Their tradition of Southern writing -- a distinctive genre marked by a sweeping ambition to make culture a character on par with the living -- is alive and well in the gripping new novel Pug Sheridan . . . First-time author Sandra Cline's tale of a rural Alabama trapped between two centuries in the days leading up to World War I is romantic, spiritual and soothing. But it burns with something deeper, a social conscience that crosses generations . . . -- Easton, New Jersey Express Times
A dramatic, soul-searching story of growing up… -- Amazon.com
Pug Sheridan is author Sandra Cline's debut novel, a work in which she drew upon interviews with more than fifty elderly residents in the area in which her story is set. Set in the rural South of one hundred years ago, Pug Sheridan tells of a young tomboy who survives the difficult transition to womanhood, and must struggle against the evil of a resurgent Ku Klux Klan that threatens her family and cherished friends - members of a secret sorority that dares to transcend racial taboos. Yet the darkness in the world around her will force her to put her courage, resourcefulness, and even her willingness to enact violence to the test. A dramatic, soul-searching story of growing up, coming of age, and daring to take a stand. -- Midwest Book Review

It sheds a new light on practices that have gone on for a long time and which have contributed to the loss of priceless works of art. If it happened here it also happened elsewhere.

The Regis University Collection of Santos is the largest teaching collection
of santos in the U.S. Although the book tells the stories behind the acquisition of the santos over a thirty year period, the tradition and images cover almost four hundred years of New Mexican history.
REVIEWS
The result is a personal, sometimes humorous, and always thoughtful story of one individual’s consummate love affair with a distinctive art form. This is an important book. -- Sandoval Arts
Father Steele, who recently retired from Regis University in Denver, now lives in Albuquerque, where he regularly taught at the University of New Mexico. For 30 years he has been collecting New Mexico santos -- masterpieces from the 18th and 19th centuries and contemporary works -- for the Regis University collection. In this new book, illustrated with 134 color photographs, he describes the Regis collection and singles out many of its treasures, describing their background and telling how he acquired and renovated them. -- Theology Digest
The Regis Santos documents the three hundred pieces of Spanish Colonial and contemporary devotional art that have been assembled by Father Thomas Steele over thirty years and are assembled as the Regis university Collection of New Mexican Santos. The collection contains examples of the master santeros from the 18th and 19th centuries as well as contemporary masters. Father Steele, assisted by Barbe Awalt and Paul Rhetts, has produced a truly impressive and seminal body of work. -- Midwest Book Review/Bookwatch
[Tom Steele's] name is often associated with the study of santos and is well-known for his love of Hispanic people, nuestra santa raza. For the past thirty years, Steele has been more than just a collector. He's been a student, secondly a teacher and finally a disciple. In his long pilgrimage and struggle to learn about the Hispano and genízaro, he studied and became a priest. I gather from those who know him, he experienced a cultural transformation. . . . This is what being a genízaros is all about. What intrigued me most about the Regis collection is that it clearly and unquestionably demonstrates that the New Mexico santero tradition extends beyond the contemporary political boundaries of New Mexico. This book is more than a catalog of the Steele collection. It is a preview of the santero talent of our hermanos carnales in Colorado. -- La Herencia del Norte
The Regis Santos brings attention to a unique collection whose central purpose is interpretation and teaching, unlike museums or private collections with their focus on aesthetic excellence. -- Bloomsbury Review

The Regis University Collection of Santos is the largest teaching collection
of santos in the U.S. Although the book tells the stories behind the acquisition of the santos over a thirty year period, the tradition and images cover almost four hundred years of New Mexican history.

The result is a personal, sometimes humorous, and always thoughtful story of one individual’s consummate love affair with a distinctive art form. This is an important book. -- Sandoval Arts
Father Steele, who recently retired from Regis University in Denver, now lives in Albuquerque, where he regularly taught at the University of New Mexico. For 30 years he has been collecting New Mexico santos -- masterpieces from the 18th and 19th centuries and contemporary works -- for the Regis University collection. In this new book, illustrated with 134 color photographs, he describes the Regis collection and singles out many of its treasures, describing their background and telling how he acquired and renovated them. -- Theology Digest
The Regis Santos documents the three hundred pieces of Spanish Colonial and contemporary devotional art that have been assembled by Father Thomas Steele over thirty years and are assembled as the Regis university Collection of New Mexican Santos. The collection contains examples of the master santeros from the 18th and 19th centuries as well as contemporary masters. Father Steele, assisted by Barbe Awalt and Paul Rhetts, has produced a truly impressive and seminal body of work. -- Midwest Book Review/Bookwatch
[Tom Steele's] name is often associated with the study of santos and is well-known for his love of Hispanic people, nuestra santa raza. For the past thirty years, Steele has been more than just a collector. He's been a student, secondly a teacher and finally a disciple. In his long pilgrimage and struggle to learn about the Hispano and genízaro, he studied and became a priest. I gather from those who know him, he experienced a cultural transformation. . . . This is what being a genízaros is all about. What intrigued me most about the Regis collection is that it clearly and unquestionably demonstrates that the New Mexico santero tradition extends beyond the contemporary political boundaries of New Mexico. This book is more than a catalog of the Steele collection. It is a preview of the santero talent of our hermanos carnales in Colorado. -- La Herencia del Norte
The Regis Santos brings attention to a unique collection whose central purpose is interpretation and teaching, unlike museums or private collections with their focus on aesthetic excellence. -- Bloomsbury Review

Relicarios
Martha J. Egan
Reg. price $24.95
ISBN 0-890132542 (softcover)
Museum of New Mexico Press, 1996. 144 pages, 125 photographs
The relicario is the Latin American version of the reliquary locket, a small, finely wrought devotional pendant used to contain relics and mementos of the saints. Martha Egan, renowned authority on Latin American folk art, spent more than five years of travel and investigation locating and documenting the finest examples of Iberian and Latin American reliquaries worldwide. Relicarios: Devotional Miniatures from the Americas presents 125 refined examples of a religious art that rivals the illuminated books and gilded altars of the Medieval and Renaissance periods.
REVIEWS
There is a timeless pan-human belief that an object that once belonged to another holds power and influence. Protective medallions, amulets, rings, and tefillin fall into this category, and so do relicarios. These encased bits of cloth or bone, theoretically obtained from a religious saint, were small, precious reminders of faith. Imported from Spain to Latin America, relicarios have been largely ignored as sacred tools rather than art objects. After centuries of development in the New World, they have emerged as a unique tradition worthy of study. Egan has given us an intelligent, much-needed history of relicarios and other related items such as detentes. Fascinating to read and full of color illustrations detailing its little-known subject, this book will prove useful to those in the social sciences as well as art and religious studies. –- Library Journal

The first classification system for the adobe churches and chapels of Hispanic New Mexico, this armchair expedition is led by two of the leading experts in the field — Lucero, a leading architect, and Steele, one of the major authorities on religion in New Mexico. Together they help the reader develop both an understanding of and an appreciation for the unique religious architecture found in Hispanic New Mexico.
REVIEWS
Architect Thomas L. Lucero and scholar Thomas J. Steele, S.J., present Religious Artchitecture in Hispano New Mexico, a slender yet detailed study of the structure and architecture of churches. Setting forth a classification system that can prove most helpful when comparing distinct types of Hispanic religious architecture in New Mexico, this book is filled with black-and-white diagrams and photographs as well as extensive text description, historical summaries, and more. A thoroughly researched and invaluable guide for architecture students, designers, and scholars seeking to better understand the form, purpose and function of Hispanic New Mexican places of worship. -- Midwest Book Review
A new book put out by LPD Press, a local outfit based in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, claims to be the first major explanation of the architecture of New Mexico's Hispanic churches since George Kubler's landmark publication in 1940. At the heart of this new book is an intriguing method of classifying New Mexican Hispano architecture based on the increasing complexity of architectural elements, from the simplest residence to the most elaborate mission church. The book is informative, and it offers a classification system that would probably be useful to many amateur and professional enthusiasts of New Mexico's Catholic architecture. -- Weekly Alibi
This little book is a concise discourse on the structure and architecture of New Mexico’s old Catholic religious structures: churches, chapels, and moradas (chapter houses of the penitentes), written by an architect and a New Mexico religious history scholar. The book comes with its own classification system for ranking New Mexico’s ecclesiastic buildings: by presence or absence of characteristic traits such as side chapels, clerestories, raised floor altars, and other features. After reading the book and examining the drawings and photos, the reader will undoubtedly come away with a new understanding of New Mexico’s Hispanic adobe sanctuaries, after only 48 pages, not counting the endnotes and a glossary. – New Mexico Magazine, January 2006

Restless Tribes

Reg. price $14.95

Central Ave Press, 2004. 226 pages.
Travelers are a restless tribe, and Stephen Ausherman is one of their most active members. Nomadic, often solitary, he exists in a state of perpetual dislocation, an ideal vantage point for observing people and places on the edge of chaos. Days before a devastating hurricane, he hikes through a Honduran cloud forest with the U.S. Marines. In India, he meets police guarding a shrine they would rather see destroyed. And in Zanzibar, he sails with boisterous Vikings who proclaim themselves "the largest tribe in the world." Born in China, raised in North Carolina and currently residing in New Mexico, Ausherman is the author of the award-winning novel Typical Pigs.
REVIEWS
In Restless Tribes, [Ausherman] succeeds in conveying the world-weary joys of escaping the stifling comforts of home. -- Steven Robert Allen, Albuquerque Weekly Alibi
Restless Tribes is an anthology of travel essays by author and wanderer Stephen Ausherman. From observing the demilitarized zone of Korea, to viewing the scars of war in Vietnam, to visits to Honduras, Alaska, the Philippines, Iraq, China, India, Tanzania, Venezuela, and Ireland, Restless Tribes is a truly globe-spanning experience that takes in not only the great places but the ordinary lives of the people who call each location home. Love, heartbreaking loss, and the struggles of individuals trying to make sense out of wars, lingering hatred, and even genocide add an empathetically human touch to this powerful memoir. -- Midwest Book Review
Ausherman's Restless Tribes far transcends the crosscultural sinkbomb spewing typical go go global village gumbojunk that permeates so much of todays travel writing. This is a collection of real short stories, chock-full of real pathos, real humor, real madness, real sadness. -- Bullfight Small Press Review
A great read blending just the right amount of travelogue with personal experience and insight. Ausherman has a special strength in conveying the plight of the solitary traveler, bridging the language and culture gap in such a way as to create deep and enduring personal connections with those he visits. -- Steve Savage, Producer and Host of Behind the Soundbite
Restless Tribes is the real deal. Each story has the bite, taste, and smell of places you once may have considered to be exotic, but now — with Ausherman as your guide — have become familiar. As with all great travel, reading Restless Tribes is so much fun, you hardly realize how much you've learned until you've finished. It's one of those books you don't want to end and will return to again and again. -- Gary Mex Glazner, Author of Ears on Fire: Snapshot Essays in a World of Poets
Restless Tribes is a wild ride. Whether cycling through a Manchurian winter or mushing behind barely controlled huskies in Alaska, restless traveler Stephen Ausherman dances back and forth across the line between adventure travel and actual danger, then comes back to relate it all as though he'd been off somewhere doing a sedate two-step. Armchair travelers, hang on to your seats. -- Jeanie Fleming, Travel Writer

Niederman's first novel finds a cosmopolitan woman returning to her small ranching community roots and struggling with memories.
REVIEWS
This is a purely fiction book with undertones of what we know in the “Land of Entrapment.” For many young people the opportunities in New Mexico are few and far between after high school. This is the story of someone coming home and dealing with the rural land and its people. It is a good read that gets you involved right away. It has women’s issues, domestic violence, and the non-forgiving land as central characters. For a good taste of ranch life in New Mexico this is a good book to dive into. Maybe it is a good book to read before moving to New Mexico? -- Tradicion Revista

ISBN 1-57416-054-0
Clear Light Publishers 2003. 345 pages
In spite of coming from humble beginnings, William S. Bradford III became a corporate vice-president through hard work and insensitivity to others. He had been responsible for downsizing thousands of employees based on his work principle "just compensation for results produced" - now he has been let go fot the very same reason. Alone with his shame, he leaves his office for the last time, spending some time in self-pity and waitng for the end of his life to come. Instead, he heads on a journey back to his "roots," rediscovering his wife, family and old friends left behind in his wake of ambition and self-destruction.
REVIEWS
When Rob Reider, President of Reider Associates, a management and organizational consulting firm, seminar/workshop provider, and author of four professional management books publishes a novel about a man who almost loses his soul by being a number-driven corporate drone, he has a long, honorable past to draw upon. Reider has some things to say about downsizing. William Bradford spends his corporate career making manufacturing plants more efficient. If this means cutting workers, so be it; if it means shutting down the plant entirely, well, so it goes. William himself eventually gets downsized, causing a switch in his personality. The kernel of the story is a man becomes armored against life, setting everyone aside – wife, children, friends, associates – with little concern for the consequences. The real theme of the book: “Was there a connection between the decline of corporate America and the rest of America. William begins to see the connection. -- The Santa Fe New Mexican
Rob Reider of Santa Fe, who has written five professional management books, has completed his first novel Road To Oblivion: The Footpath Back Home. The story is about a man, William Bradford, who creates a rotten life for himself, has it derailed by adversity, and then manages to get back on a better track. Reider uses this theme as an example of how our stories guide our lives, and are an opportunity for change. It reminds me of how I once read that if one understands grapho-analysis, personality traits one prefers not to have can be changed by adjustment in penmanship. The idea being that by examining the narrative, we can change it as it unfolds. -- Ouray County Plaindealer
Enjoy an engaging story of the rise and demise of a corporate workaholic, but happily without the objectivist one-way ticket to true oblivion. In addition, to a hard-to-put-down story line, Reider’s protagonist has something for everyone – the archetype of “poor kid makes good and becomes modern, successful, company man” with a mythology that resonates sometimes too close to home. Don’t expect any how-to, though; whatever your profession, behind this story are the clues to your own destiny, and a wake-up call to yield to it and find your own footpath back home. -- Borders Books
Road To Oblivion: The Footpath Back Home is an engrossing, well crafted novel about a corporate executive who finds himself downsized and down and out. The character’s subsequent evolution and the vicissitudes of his life are painted in vivid color. Coupled with a well developed story line and a colorful assortment of other characters, this book is a must read and a page turner. -- Dr. Philip Milstein, Psychiatrist

Reider uses this theme as an example of how our stories guide our lives, and are an opportunity for change. It reminds me of how I once read that if one understands grapho-analysis, personality traits one prefers not to have can be changed by adjustment in penmanship. The idea being that by examining the narrative, we can change it as it unfolds. -- Ouray County Plaindealer
Enjoy an engaging story of the rise and demise of a corporate workaholic, but happily without the objectivist one-way ticket to true oblivion. In addition, to a hard-to-put-down story line, Reider’s protagonist has something for everyone – the archetype of “poor kid makes good and becomes modern, successful, company man” with a mythology that resonates sometimes too close to home. Don’t expect any how-to, though; whatever your profession, behind this story are the clues to your own destiny, and a wake-up call to yield to it and find your own footpath back home. -- Borders Books
Road To Oblivion: The Footpath Back Home is an engrossing, well crafted novel about a corporate executive who finds himself downsized and down and out. The character’s subsequent evolution and the vicissitudes of his life are painted in vivid color. Coupled with a well developed story line and a colorful assortment of other characters, this book is a must read and a page turner. -- Dr. Philip Milstein, Psychiatrist
