Wanda MacDonnell said Five Stars. Another great book by an insightful author.. Dear Kris Having read all of Radish's works of fiction, I was delighted to find a collection of real life stories. As I read this book, I kept thinking "when I'm done, I'm going to write Kris Radish a love letter." Her zest for life, her willingness to embrace a situation and "get 'er done" (all the while admitting to her fears) is admirable. The fact that her life experiences differ from many of her readers only adds to her appeal.When regaling people with some of my more unusu. Kathleen L. Smith said She has a hit again. I of course loved it.I read everything Kris Radish writes. I like some more than others, but never leave one of her books without learning something about myself- a life lesson. I laugh, sigh, get angry, and cry. Her charactors speak to all of usWe can recognize ourselves, people we know or that are in our familyWhen I leave the story to go do something, I always feel that something will happen in the book before I return.Thank you Kris. Please Keep Writing! Your Napa
A woman who worries about carrying a .38 special in her purse, nearly drowns in a desert canyon, flies into the war in Bosnia, dances with the FBI, tells Geraldo he shouldn't put guests in hotel rooms with rats and spends time with murderers, has more than a few stories to tell. Gravel on the Side of the Road: True Stories From a Broad Who Has Been There is a daring and revealing adventure itself. Beloved novelist Kris Radish returns to her non-fiction beginnings with her first book of autobiographical essays.
