The Rocking Chair Reader: Memories from the Attic is the kind of book that makes you want to read it again. The beauty of a short story is its ability to steal you away from your own troubles for a little while, and this book does this in a unique way so that not only are you stolen, but you are also welcomed to travel through your own memories and family stories, secrets you thought you had forgotten. Several of the stories also have interesting profiles of the towns where the stories were set. (I made a list of the towns that I would like to visit.) The only reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because I wanted more stories to be included, more opportunities for me to reminisce. My Mother, who also has a copy, said that it was "just perfect how it is". Speaking of perfection, my favorite story in this collection is "Single Shot .22", Carbon Raines' latest short story. She has dazzled me again; I'm always excited to see her work in print. The Bottom Line: This is an excellent work of literature and would be a wise addition to any home library. (Not to mention what a great gift it would be for family members who are partial to small town America!)
