Doc by Mary Doria Russll-2012. Recommended by our own James Cordova- JM Football Coach and devoted reader!
This was a wonderful story that I was surprised I liked, mainly because this was out of my usual "comfort" genre. Goodreads states :" Authentic, moving, and witty, Mary Doria Russell’s fifth novel redefines these two towering figures of the American West and brings to life an extraordinary cast of historical characters, including Holliday’s unforgettable companion, Kate. First and last, however, Doc is John Henry Holliday’s story, written with compassion, humor, and respect by one of our greatest contemporary storytellers."-Pick this up if you want something different, historical and truly enlightening. Really loved the characters. Easy read!-Thanks James!
I haven't read this one yet but is next on my list-come grab it before me! It's a NY Times Bestseller and sounds very intriguing. From GoodReads:"a captivating story of two very different women who build an unexpected friendship: a 91-year-old woman with a hidden past as an orphan-train rider and the teenage girl whose own troubled adolescence leads her to seek answers to questions no one has ever thought to ask.....Rich in detail and epic in scope, Orphan Train is a powerful novel of upheaval and resilience, of second chances, of unexpected friendship, and of the secrets we carry that keep us from finding out who we are."
