Marie,
You remind me of a serious mistake I made in using that title for the book. I wish I had kept record of the number of people who assume the book is about Harry Truman. That could not be further off the mark.

Oddly enough it is about a man named Truman Mahoney and his brother Harry who are bank robbers and murderers. It is the story as told me by Truman.

You may go to Amazon.com and find it along with greater detail and reader reviews if you are interested.

I hope you are well and doing some real serious reading and writing.

Marie,

Thank you for the friend request and the kind comments. I would be honored to be your friend. I see that we have many things in common as I read your profile. You like non-fiction books so you may be interested in my current book HOUNDED - TRUMAN'S STORY.

I look forward to exchanges with you.

Marie - was sorry to hear of your sister's passing. It's only those of us who remain here tied to earth that are sad. Those who pass rejoice in their new home - no more pain or sadness or lonliness for them. Aren't they the lucky ones?
