Between Wyomings: My God and an Ipod on the Open Road by Ken Mansfield
Ken Mansfield is an author, but he is also a Grammy-winning record producer. He has worked and rubbed elbows with the rich and famous, sure, but he didn't start out that way.
BETWEEN WYOMINGS is his journey from a podunk town in Idaho where he grew up to the big cities of LA, San Diego, London, and a few more along the way. As the journey goes along, he shares some of his past with us.
Ken has spent over thirty years on the road and now, as he and his wife as settled down in a stationary home, he is restless. So, he and his wife Connie go on a road trip that a little over three months, retracing monumental steps in their lives.
I'm a big country music fan, so a lot of his musings of his work with several big stars really caught my attention. However, it's sad, but so happens too often, that Ken let his success become his God. It will take alot of walking alone before he walks WITH God.
Written in a style where the pages flowed seamlessly, BETWEEN WYOMINGS will capture your attention, draw you in, and not let you go until the end. Ken's book sends a powerful message, but it's not preached to you, it's real and that makes all the difference for me.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave a comment. It's appreciated.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've been trying to read it, but can't seem to get into it and I'm about 50 pages in. I'm going to feel bad if I write a bad review for it, lol...because the writing is great, I just can't get into the story.
