Photo: This is my grandad Daniels and his family on the porch of their old home on Reservoir Hill. Back row, left to right- Asa Wilder Daniels, Asa Steven Daniels, & Myrle Daniels. Front row, left to right- Meda Eliza Camp Daniels, Gladys Daniels, & my grandad, Jared Waldo Daniels. My novel, CLARA'S BEST will be available soon. I'm considering this photo for the cover of my next novel, OBIE'S TRUTH book 1, America Was Real. Waldo would be the face of Obie. SC

A Heartfelt Apology

Poor Little Obie!

I’ve taken the hopes & dreams, doubts & fears, and triumphs & failures that we all have in common with those hearty souls who’ve preceded us, and created an affable, unpretentious character that young and old alike are likely to relate to on some level. And then I’ve inflicted him with much of my own childhood, debilitating vulnerability, incomprehensible faith, some of our country’s most colorful and gut-wrenching history, and a plethora of the ubiquitous maladies that plague us all! And I’ve cast him, nearly naked, into the world. God, consider my motives and forgive me.
