A Good Place: A Novel

The second book in the Westport Series"Deep in the Louisiana piney woods is a good place." "No Man's Land" is where Mayo Moore begins his story of growing up during the turbulent years of the Civil War. Through his parents' inspiration-Irishman Joe Moore and his part-Indian wife, Eliza-Mayo learns that love of family is stronger than any challenge. "Families stick together through the storm and come out stronger." A surprise hurricane devastates the area, but it is only the first in a series of storms to roll over the Moore family and their Ten Mile neighbors: the coming storm of the Civil War threatens everything the family believes in. More than a coming-of-age tale, A Good Place recounts the enduring love story of Joe and Eliza, as told through the eyes and heart of their feisty oldest son, Mayo. Mayo's tales take readers along the winding creeks and tall trees into the hearts of memorable characters such as Joe and Eliza, "Unk," Miz Girlie, Bo, and Uncle Eli. Continuing the story that thrilled readers in The Wayfaring Stranger, Curt Iles writes in the warm and humorous style loved by readers of his previous six books. A Good Place, the second book in "The Westport Series" shares about a time and place where "life was good but never easy." A Good Place is Curt Iles' seventh book. He and his wife DeDe reside in Louisiana's Piney Woods where his family has lived for eight generations. A popular speaker and writer, he can be reached at www.creekbank.net Read more
