Roads of the Heart

Christopher Tilghman's "Roads of the Heart" is one of the best books I have read in a long time. The tightly written novel describes a family's patriarch who, weeks from his death, manages to re-connect a geographically and emotionally dispersed family when he allows his love for them to trump decades of disregard. I stumbled upon the book in a local store and read it in a couple of sittings. I cannot understand why it has not been more widely reviewed and critically acclaimed. I want to encourage Tighlman to keep at his important writing; to maybe find a new agent; and to encourage his publisher to get the word out about the works of a most skilled writer. I want more.
