GUEST POST
Author J.R. Holbrook wanted to remind readers everywhere of some of the changes during the early 20th century, taking them back to see the lives of past generations. “Next O&W Train from Tennessee” is the result, a work of introspection and retrospection, a remembrance of the past for the generation of today, and tomorrow.
Holbrook chronicles the past and how things once were, he reminisces on the good that was, but his nostalgia is tempered with the realization that change is so much better, for with it comes progress and improvement, which makes being a witness to these transformations all the more important. His story follows the lives of those who would come to see and witness society come into its own, as well as their family and their children, making this work a multi-generational saga, a story of passing the torch to future generations, while looking back at yesteryear with appreciation.
“It is important to today, because it shows us that good things do take place if society just follows a path that it should,” Holbrook explains.
“Next O&W Train from Tennessee” has won a 2012 USA Best Book Award, a 2013 San Francisco Book Award honorable mention, and will be in the New England book festival awards coming in January 2014.
