The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper
by Phaedra Patrick
The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper (5/9/2016)
Initially, I felt as if I had read this book before; depressed widower, unable to cope since the death of his spouse, makes a life changing decision-ultimately choosing life. Meh. So imagine my surprise when I found myself absolutely delighted by Arthur's enthusiasm as he embraced the mystery behind one of his wife's keepsakes, discovered hidden in a shoe. His search led to new acquaintances, both near and far ( human and animal), telephone calls and travels, and even a new wardrobe! Most importantly, Arthur found the man his wife always knew he was and loved and the ability to once again be a parent to his children.
