Good Reads For Your Adventure Travels
Please Note: The books and Audios reviewed here are my honest opinions. I received these unsolicited and free for promotional purposes, but I simply do not review the ones I do not believe to be review worthy.
A Conspiracy of Spirits: Wall Street Vs. The 99% by Bill Douglas This unique novel may be introducint a new and much needed genre: the mixture of fiction with universal spiritual concepts and nurturing our hurting earth. The novel has characters with similar visions in different parts of the world, awakening to the great needs of people and nature to all participate in the healing of the earth to save our civilization before it is too late. The fascinating novel is imaginary but also has numerous spiritual underlying references which are known to all peoples throughout history and are now of GREAT importance to our generation to be a part of the tiny percentage of change that it takes to point the world into the shift that will save us and the larger population...we are at the tipping point and we MUST pay attantion to the universal truths hidden in this novel and save our home planet and ourselves before it is too late. Very interesting, well crafted, and unique... an enjoyable and also disturbing read.
The Railway Detective Omnibus by Edward Marston is a delightful read in the containing three separate mystery novels: The Railway Detective. The Excursion Train, and The Railway Viadouc. The novels are reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christi. In these mysteries, each set in and around trains, Robert Colbeck is the detective called in to solve these locomotive mysteries, set in London in the mid 1800's. If you love trains or mysteries, you'll devour this book! Marston, a film producer, is adept at creating both characters and plots in this his first novelettes.
No More Heroes by Henry BiernackiThis little novel is not a most compelling read but is innovative in its approach. Niklaus, a young man constantly traveling to seek new thrills and experiences and avoid the humdrumness of life and to meet unusual and interesting people, is juxtaposed in many quietly sweet situations with Foxey, an elderly woman who has a terminal illness and has never traveled but has gained wisdom in living boldly, especially in her senior years. She attempts to teach Niklaus to live in each moment of life just where he is and to go within often. The book has much spiritual wisdom.
The Silent Gift by Michael Landon Jr. and Cindy Kelley is a novel I could not put down. The story is of a deaf mute boy and his mother in the Depression of the 1930's. They have to escape an abusive situation and as the plot develops they are billowed from pillar to post in destitute situations. But during their great adversities someone comes to their aid who seems perfect at the moment but some become disastrous. The young boy seems to have a gift of prophecy, which enables them to survive but also becomes a great obstacle to their staying together. This is a poignant story of love and survival, faith and endurance, and I was convinced throughout the story that it was true, but apparently it is not. You'll love this book! 
Code 936 by Bill Kimbrell is an action packed thriller, which begins with a Christian influence alluded to throughout the book. The novel develops rather blandly and naively at the beginning and turns into a page turner, medical espionage a nd corporate crime expose that is alarming in the face of the health care crisis in the United States today. If the book portrays the industry of managed care accurately we should all fear for our lives. The short-cuts companies take in the novel to keep the investors happy with their bottom line reports lead to unjust firing of long-term, faithful builders of the company and criminal acts in the name of reorganization. Off shore banking and hidden slush funds to avoid taxes are coupled with lax quality control when manufacturing is moved to remote places where labor is cheap and there are no environmental controls necessary...sounds too familiar in the climate of capitalism and greed which have run rampant in the last decade. This book will keep you reading and make your awareness question what are now all too common practices that seem so remote and unrelated to the average person. I recommend this for a good read.
Sonora Moonlight by Florence B. Weinberg is an intriguing novel interlaced with the mid 1760s historical background of the Spanish attempt to establish missions in the area of what is now Northwestern Mexico and Southern Arizona. Weinberg builds her story around the main character of Father Ygnacio Pfefferkorn, a real historical figure in this region during the 1760s. Father Ygnacio was a real priest that came as a missionary of the church to the missions of Ati, Cucurpe and Guevavi in what was then New Spain. Sonora Moonlight begins with Father Ygnacio’s arrival at the Guevavi Mission at the same time as a murder of a white rancher of Irish descent is discovered. this beginning Weinberg has her main character having to uncover the mystery of the murder as well as bring about new relationships and understanding with the Indians of the area. Having been born on the high desert country of New Mexico and explored the area as a child, the author has a unique understanding of the culture of this region as well as the practices of the Indian tribes and their use of plants for medicinal purposes. Uncovering the mystery of the murder and the various relationships between mission, ranchers and Indians makes the reader want to read on and become immersed into a unique setting of our historical past. Weinberg was a finalist for The Eric Hoffer Award with this book, and one can well understand why the vivid descriptions and interesting characterizations as well as a compelling plot. 
One Big Itch: A John Spyer Mystery by Sara Williams is a mystery novel set in Honolulu, featuring the detective John Spyer, a native hapa haole or mixed race, who is haunted by the ghost of Madame Pele, the goddess of the volcano. I found the liberal sprinkling of Hawaiian words throughout the text to be difficult at first, then it led to the authenticity of the story, which incorporates a lot of Hawaiian history and lore. The characters, some with seedy lives, are lively and convincing and the plot thickens all the way to the end. It is a read that is hard to put down and perfect for an Island trip. However, much of the murder plot makes references to the seedy, illicit sexual life of the hidden side of Hawaii. The perversions are not described, but frequently referred to and become important to the plot. The author keeps you reading, and I liked the new magazine type format, which is easy to hold on a plane or in bed and light to pack. 
The Shimmer by David Morrell For me, fiction has to grab the reader in the first few pages, if I'm going to stick with it, and this one certainly does! With the police officer's wife disappearing, a mysterious top secret location in a remote part of Texas, shimmering lights, we have the captivating setting that draws the reader into the ever more thrillling and thickening plot. David Morrell has long been acclaimed as the master of thriller writing, and his novels have been translated into 26 languages, 18 million copies sold around the world. This year he received the prestigious ThrillerMaster Award for his outstanding work. Enjoy this, his latest, on your next holiday. 
In the Woods by Tana French is a murder mystery novel which captivates the reader the first page. The death of a child, who is found on an ancient altar in a place all too familiar and forbidden to the police detective assigned to the case, gets more and more involved as the reader tries to play detective also. The detective partners are portrayed in such a way that the reader is determined they will end up together for life. The man is in great need of extensive psychological counseling, and his female partner tries to help, but of course, another male detective enters the picture, forming the unwanted triangle. And he is a balanced person who has not had a horribly trouble life experience with which to deal. The story gets a little too involved, with many bouts of drunkeness and deep psychological pain of the male detective, but the murder mystery unfolds, the case is solved, but the reader is left unsatisfied but realizing it is probably a realistic ending. Do read this book! 
Gauntlet by Richard Aaron is a first novel by a Vancouver maritime attorney who is certain to become recognized as one of the top intrigue and espionage thriller writers of our time. Gauntlet has compelling, fully actualized characters on several continents, whose lives and actions the reader follows in thrilling, horrifying detail through this page turner. The plot is that 660 tons of Semtex is destroyed in the Libyan desert to prevent its world devastating potential, but en route to the desert one shipment is high jacked, providing enough explosive to kill millions of people. The USA is warned that the most horrific terroist attack of any is eminent within 30 days, but no one knows where or when the strike will come, but the newly formed TTIC agency is determined to prevent this attack. The hero is a computer geek who is autistic and provides the only chance of tracing the Semtex and stopping the attack, but few take him seriously. The secret agent planted in the MIddle East to infiltrate wealthy drug rings there is discovered with disastrous consequences. The book will keep you on edge all the way to its astonishing conclusion. I can hardly wait for Aaron's second book to be published in the near future. The father of an autistic child, he wrote this one to show his child that he recognizes the hero in him. 
So Not Happening by Jenny Jones is Christian fiction for Young Adults by a high school teacher in Arkansas, who really speaks the teen ager language and knows first hand what are the problems, triumphs, joys, and let downs today's teens deal with. This story's plot focuses on the traumas of Bella Kirkwood, whose father was a prominent plastic surgeon to the stars in New York City. Bella had everything a teen could want and was popular in a prestious private school there. But her life turned upside down when her father decided to divorce her mother and remarry. Then her mother re marries and Bella is forced to move to, of all places, Oklahoma, with her new step dad's work. The horrors and joys of trying to fit into this "po dunk" "foreign" place make a delightful story for young adult readers. With God as the center of life, problems become stepping stones and Bella's life settles down, but she has many enticing adventures along the path of this novel. Read it for fun, but gain insights into ways of handling ups and downs of life. 
Ruby Unscripted by Cindy Martinusen - Coloma is one of the five best Christian Juvenile fiction books of 2004. Young Ruby Madden, the central character, has all kinds of difficulties adjusting to a new high school when she moves with her mom to Marin County, California, where movie stars and affluent people live. She misses her brother who stayed behind with their dad and his new wife, setting up the scene for broken family issues. She is lonely and insecure in the new environment of temptations she is not familiar with. She tries to fit in by auditioning for an amateur film group. With many puzzle pieces to her life, she shows courage and good morals in finally finding her secure place. Of course, the story involves young love. This is an easy read and well written and would appeal to most teenage girls. 
The Constant Princess by Philippa Gregory. This novel is by one of the foremost historical fiction writers. Her books are well researched and her characters come to life in an unforgettable way. The constant princess is Katherine of Aragon, daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella who were the rulers of Spanish kingdoms in the late 1400's and early 1500's. Their daughter, Catalina, was betrothed a young age to marry the prince of England in order to unite the growing Spain with England and make the developing countries strong against powerful France. Catalina is constant in fulfilling her duty of becoming the 15 year old bride, renamed anglacized Katherine, and ultimately becoming Queen of England, always enduring great difficulties but also finding love. You'll be spellbound by the book and you'll appreciate European history with the insights you gain through this admirable woman's story. 
Wai - Nani, High Chiefess of Hawai'i: Her Epic Journey By Linda Ballou This, the author's first book, is a masterpiece and a fascinating read. The historic novel tells the dramatic and heart warming love story of Wai Nani. By weaving the ancient legends of Old Hawaii into this compelling story, Ballou captivates the reader with her beautiful descriptions and very real characters, who come alive in your imagination. The first few pages were a bit hard to read because the author has interjected real Hawaiian words into sentences in which the meaning is evident, but once I got the rhythm I could hardly put the book down. It is an excellent read, especially if you have been or plan to go to Hawaii. 
Sisters, Ink by Rebeca Seitz is a delightful new novel, the first in a series. With scrapbooking as the central focus for four Sinclair sisters, adopted and very unalike, to gather to visit and share their love and experiences, the novel develops a promising love story with an intriguing background. The over zealous success motive nearly ruins one sister's life, as the others watch and try to help her. The characters are well de veloped, fresh, and the reader connects well with them, wanting to know what will happen next in this little Southern town. This is a delightful read and I look forward to the continuation of the series. 
Voice of Conscience by Behcet Kaya is a novel which begins with the main character in Turkey, narrowly escaping being murdered along with the rest of his family just before his sister's wedding. The intrigue and plotting of revenge follow this young man as he grows up, falls in love with and American woman, moves to California, and becomes a very successful business man. The book gives beautiful descriptions of the landscape in each of the places as we follow the character, Ozcomert. I found the way of life in the Turkish society very fascinating and also frightening. The book is a good read and reveals why revenge never pays. 
Nobles Gold by W. C. Craddock is a tome of 800 pages that works better as a door stop as opposed to a novel as it is described on the cover. The book is full of digressions that involve the recounting of historical events the birth of OPEC to the gold rush in Alaska to various battles in the American Civil War. The main character, Noble, is a rather flat character, and as a reader I found I had no real sympathy or empathy or even dislike for him. If you like a plot that appears off and on throughout long and detailed descriptions of past historical events and can puzzle out the connection between the historical events and the plot, then here is hours of reading for you.
Christmas Letters by Debbie Macomber, a New York Times Best Selling Author. This book is a good, sweetly romantic, escape novel ... and easy read to curl up by the fire for an evening and enjoy. It is a simple love story of people with cross purpose interests who meet in unexpected ways which promote instant dislike for each other. The novel has an alternate theme of an interesting apporach to child rearing, and everything happens at Christmas time. So get this book, curl up in a comfy place, and escape the franticness of the season. 
SOCK MONKEY DREAMS: Daily Life at the Red Heel Monkey Shelter by Whitney Shroyer and Letitia Walker with Photography by Michael Traister is a beautifully illustrated treasurery of imagination and fun. Within its pages you'll learn Newsmonkey Benny Hathaway and socktographer Link Ray the daily lives and antics of the beloved red heeled friends so many of us have loved for several generations. Have you ever wondered what your sock monkey does while you're asleep? Did you guess he has a life of his own with other sock monkeys and that when they are outgrown, shabby, or cast away, these monkeys gather at the Red Heel Shelter to console each other and tell tales and news of the other sock monkeys out there! You'll learn about weddings, history, lore, quirks, foibles, and tales of the religion, education, entertainment, commerce of the sockciety, which reflect those antics and everday happenings of their owners. The authors live with 150 sock monkeys in Asheville, NC. A delightful book for sock monkey owners. 
THE PASSION OF MARY MAGDALENE BY ELIZABETH CUNNINGHAM is a thick novel which plays off of the recent speculation about the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalen, as husband and wife. This novel takes the original twist of supposing that Mary magdalen, who has been pictured by artists as red headed, was a Celtic high born woman of the chieftan tribe and named Maeve in Ireland. According to the novel, she was learned in the Celtic spirituality and healing powers when she was captured by the Roman invaders and sold into slavery in Rome as a prostitute. The book also posthesizes that Jesus journeyed as far as Ireland during the years that we have no Biblical account of his activities. He had met Mary before she was captured, and she fell in love with him then and had always searched for him. The vivid accounts of her prostitution years border on being pornographically x rated, and would offend some readers, as would the subject offend Christian readers. Through a Jewish merchant who frequented the House of Prostitution where Mary was captive, she ultimately finds her way to Palestine and into contact again with Jesus...the plot develops in a fascinating way. A long read, imaginative, vivid descriptions, well written with well developed characters but sometimes without convincing dialogue. 
The Secret Supper by Javier Sierra Those readers intrigued by Dan Brown's The DaVinci Code will find The Secret Supper to be a fascinating read also. However, instead of a modern day setting, this new novel is quite different and is set in Milan, Italy, during Da Vinci's time . The plot is around his painting of The Last Supper . The mystery that develops pertains to the code which he is placing in the picture and the concerns of the Vatican about the implications this painting will have on Christendom. The key narrator is an Inquisitor for the Vatican who is sent to Milan to try to break codes believed to be heretical and to find the disseminator of those codes. The author appears to have based his novel on historical occurrences of the time and texts that were supposedly key to secret understandings of Christ's mission on earth. This novel holds an intriguing mystery that will keep you reading to the very last page, but at times the complications of the code and interaction of characters can be a bit confusing. The book casts a new light on the suppression of texts and ideas of the early church and gives a fascinating study of DaVinci at work! 
A Dream Across Time By Annie Roger is a novel, set in the exotic beauty of St. Lucia, will make you wonder about mystical possibilities of reincarnation and generational collective memory. The simple story carries you to the end because of the delightful character Jamie and her love, Andre. Their chance meeting, their struggles with their own personal lives, their ultimate destiny to be together unfold in a series of simple events prompting the folklore of the island's secret history to be revealed by the keepers of the ancient secrets. The book is fanciful and light reading and an entertaining escape read, especially if you are a female going to an exotic island, especially in the Caribbean. You never know what awaits you! 
The Ultimate Reality Show by Clay Jacobsen is a Christian novel whose plot centers on the hit TV Reality Show whose concept is to fulfill a selfish wish of the Director to meet a woman his past and to get to know her son whom he has heard lives by his Christian standards. He wishes to put him to the test and devises some amazing events to prove his moral fortitude. The novel is written in an interesting manner and boldly teaches concepts of chastity and honesty and living uprightly even when you don't think you're being watched and even against great odds and temptations. The central figures go through many trials and have a happy ending with an unexpected twist. An enjoyable read and a good book for teens also. 
TIME WAS SOFT THERE BY JEREMY MERCER is an unusual little memoir just couldn't put down. It takes place in a bookstore, Shakespeare & Co., in London where the excentric elderly proprietor not only sells books and holds authors' lecture nights and book signing afternoon high teas but also invites would be authors and poets who need a place to stay to just camp out in the bookstore's many reading rooms. He is a lonely man and these strangers keep him company, and he feels he is enabling them to further their writing careers by assigning them a book a day to read and encouraging them to produce a manuscript for him to peruse. The book centers on one American writer, a former policeman who is escaping a life threat in the U.S., who finds Shakespeare & Co. to be his home on the run. His adventures while living among these homeless word crafters are not exciting but just unusual and an interesting read. .
THE WALL by Jeff Long is a travel adventure book I simply couldn't put down! Although I am not a rock climber, I was fascinated with the details described as the narrator, a man in his mid life, prepares to climb the face of El Cap in Yosemite National Park with his best friend his carefree early twenties. One friend has lived and travelled all over the world and suffered the death of his wife while the other married his first love and is now in marital problems. The men set their thirty year reunion at El Cap to re live their youthful adventures one more time, but the climb is doomed the start, but the men ignore the mystical or mysterious signs to abandon their plan. The perils they face in this excruciating climb are as fascinating as they are unbelievable, or, the non climber wonders, does this really happen? A terrific read! .
LONDON NOVELS by Colin Macinnes is a collection of three brief, new novels (about 225 pages each) centered around different types of characters in the London scene in the 1950's. The interesting characterizations of Londoners, who do not fit the normal reader's expectations, make the novels informative in that immigrants Africa and the Caribbean interact within London society. In the first novel, The City of Spades, the main character is part of the British Ministry who must oversee immigration former British Colonies, and he interacts with a man Nigeria. In the second novel, Absolute Beginners, you get a look at the teen culture in London's lower middle class in the 1950's when drug problems were just beginning. It shows how crime for the main characters becomes glamorized. The third novel, Mr. Love and Justice, shows the under belly of London life; therefore, the reader learns, through these settings and characters in various levels of society in a recent historical setting, aspects that made London what it is today. These novels, with vivid descriptions and characters, show the influences of major changes in the 1950's which markedly changed London society. An interesting and informative read, especially for Brits and for anyone traveling to the British Isles. The author shows a good comprehension of his native land
A COTSWOLD KILLING BY REBECCA TOPE is a well written book with excellent descriptions of the Cotswold area of England. The armchair traveler will enjoy the novel with the well crafted story line, high suspense, excellent characterization, and good English overtones that give the reader a sense of British approach to life in today's world while transporting the reader to the beautiful Gloucestershire, England. The mystery revolves around two different murders which happen in the field of a house which the narrator is house sitting, thus involving her in an attempt to solve the murders. The reader will most likely be held in suspense of whodunit until the final pages of the book, because so many possible suspects and an indiscernible motive make the mystery nearly impossible to solve. A very good read that may keep you up late at night to learn what happens. You will certainly want to read more of Rebecca Tope's books.
THE DEUCE and THE CROSSROADS BY F.P. LIONE are part of a series of novels that read like a version of LYPD BLUE with a Christian slant. Although the characterization and dialogue are well written, the plots seemed weak in that they seem more like the daily log of a city policeman's life.
THE VISION: "Green Stone of Healing™" Series Book One . These novels Explore Themes of Life After Death, Reincarnation, Free Will;Past Lives Come Alive; 'Dead' Characters Return to Continue Paths, Reunite with Loved Ones. Author C.L. Talmadge was chronicling a life she had lived before,and certain characters return after death to pursue unfinished business. In The VisionBook One, just launched by Quiet Storm Publishing, Helen is an opinionated, tough minded physician who wears a mysterious green stone. She is also emotionally wounded and vulnerable, an illegitimate half breed in
Azgard, a nation divided by race and rank. Caught in political machinations
that almost cost her life, Helen learns her father's true identity as one of the
country's most powerful Toltec lords. Helen struggles with unaccountable
rage unleashed within her by their meeting. The Green Stone of Healing(tm) series offers a unique twist on reincarnation. Instead of looking solely backward, as the series progresses through four generations, dead characters return as different people still struggling to resolve their issues. Soul mates and dear friends, heroes and villains meet again, but the outcome is by no means happily ever after, even if the love (or hatred) between them does not change.
The Torrid Zone by Maggie Cottrell is a compelling novel about discovering romance in Kenya's Mkono ya Mungu, the internationally acclaimed Wildlife Reserve. Although the story line and characterization are weak, the mystery of what is not revealed until late in the book keeps you going to the end. However, Ms. Cottrell's descriptions of the wildlife and landscape of Africa, where she spent some time, are beautifully inviting. The Torrid Zone refers to the hot climate of Kenya, but the title also has an appropriate double meaning because the sex throughout the book is quite hot and torrid! A mindless escape for beach reading. 
Cork Boat by John Pollack is a very interesting book as the result of an experiment. The author was formerly a speech writer for the U.S. President and was fascinated with corks and decided to find a good use for all the wine bottle corks people normally throw away. He had always wanted to build his own boat and decided to use these corks to do so. He was persistent in solving problems of design, size, water displacement of corks (how many it would take to float the boat). In the book he narrates his adventures in finding and collecting enough corks (165,321). You'll learn the history of cork, which originated in Portugal. He decided to take the boat, when completed, to travel the Douro River in Portugal. Launching at Barco de Alva near the Spanish border, he narrates his fascinating journey down the Douro River to O'Porto, Portugal, in 17 days. A terrific read!
The Traveler's Gift By Comedian Andy Andrews is a very readable and appealing book quite appropriate for our times of joblessness and looming war. The novel focuses on David Ponder's journey to wisdom and insight following the loss of his career and his desire to live. After a car crash he has a transforming experience of "meeting" Abraham Lincoln, Anne Frank, King Solomon, Harry Truman and Chirstopher Columbus at the major crisis points in their lives. Each of these historical giants impart their wisdom to David, who returns with the courage to take responsibility for his own choices, seek wisdom, take action, and choose to be happy by developing an attitude of forgiveness and persistence in the face of difficulties. This light reading allegory provides much prescient insight for coping in the fearful world we face each day. Andy, a popular comedian who has come homelessness to touring with the rich and famous ( Garth Brooks to Cher) and entertaining four presidents has been quite successful with this his first book. Good reading for any trip!
“Blood Bond” by Paul Alongi and Charles Jacobs
Reviewed by: Bill Neely
For those that were first captivated by “The Godfather” and then in the last few years drawn to the HBO series “The Sopranos”, the novel “Blood Bond” is an entertaining read. The co authors combine their backgrounds and experiences to set up a modern day psychological tragedy which, like the ancient Greek dramas, brings out the perilous tight rope that one is made to walk when attempting to live an honorable life while trapped in family ties with a corrupted and dishonorable brother.
Paul Alongi contributes his knowledge and experience of Italian family life and his career as a practicing attorney to the writing abilities of Charles Jacobs, a long time, award winning journalist, publisher of daily newspaper groups on both coasts, and editor of several magazines. They unfold an intriguing plot of how the knowledge and desire to stay clear of wrong may not be enough when family is concerned.
The main character Nino Cienza, though working hard as a musician in a band to earn his way through college and law school and an honorable life, can not escape the bond of blood that ties him to the corruption and wrong doings of his younger brother Nicky. Even when Nino feels he has distanced himself the corrupt world of dishonesty and crime, he finds himself entangled through the actions and dealings of his brother. The plot takes many turns and twists that are unexpected and ends in an unusual way. The authors seem, in the end, to wish to show that there can be forgiveness and restitution, within the boundaries of family relationships, that supercede the wrongs committed, but I found that the reader may not be able to agree that the characters merit this forgiveness.
“Blood Bond” holds the readers' attention through plot twists and is an easy read but does lack some fleshing out of certain characters as well as lacking more vivid descriptions of certain key places. The story and the psychological intrigue are the key elements to this novel.
THREADS OF PASSION by Holly Hayes is an unusual travel book, which gives beautiful descriptions of a woman's longing to find herself and her inner spirit in her travels and love affairs in Hong Kong, the coast of France, Barbados, Japan, and Bali. This book sizzles, and if you enjoy reading Playboy and Penthouse, you'll read this with relish.
Waiting for White Horses by Nathan Jorgenson: This book would be a good take along on a fishing or hunting trip for leisurely reading at night or in the car. The author's descriptions are beautiful, and the book has most appeal for male readers or women hunters. The story will make you laugh, cry and wish you could spend some time at Spider Lake Duck Camp with Grant and Will, the two main characters who share an amazing friendship! Dentist and avid outdoorsman - Nathan Jorgenson is the winner of the 2004 Benjamin Franklin Award for Best New Voice in Fiction for Waiting for White Horses. Jorgenson has creatively appealed to both males, with the story taking place amid a friendship of two outdoorsmen; and to women, with intriguing love lines. The novel’s main character, Grant Thorson, is forced to deal with significant losses, and each new challenge pushes him closer to an agonizing re appraisal of his own hopes and dreams. The reader is allowed into the touching, personal relationships that Grant has with his best friend, his father, his daughter and his romantic relationships.
