The author takes us on his journey from a childhood filled with loss and pain to his becoming a man who has helped and inspired countless people. We meet Grace Hooks, an elderly woman from whom he rented a room while he was in vet school. We learn the stories of her life as a black woman during the Jim Crow era. Her stories of courage and determination in the face of prejudice are an inspiration for us all and Jody makes sure they will not be fogotten.

The book is extremely touching. I couldn’t put it down. The narrator does an excellent job bringing the stories to life. I strongly recommend that you give In the Company of Grace a listen.

It just went on forever with each chapter more bizarre than the last and none of them tying together. I stayed with it for all 13 hours because I wanted to see how it turned out. I wish I hadn’t.

I couldn’t put this one down. The characters are well-drawn and likable. The narrator does a great job giving all the characters distinctive voices. I cared about the characters and got really caught up in the story. When it ended I didn’t want to let them go so I went back to the beginning and listened to the whole book again. I’ve seldom he a book make me want to go back and listen again.

Well-drawn characters in a mystery in small town Minnesota. Likable sheriff character learning to care for himself as he is taking care of the the residents of his town. It made me want to read another book with the same characters.

I couldn’t put it down. I’ll remember this book for a long time. The characters are vividly drawn and relatable. The plot is full of surprises and unlike anything I have read.

This is a fun puzzle of a mystery with shadows of Agatha Christie. I couldn’t put it down and finished it in one day.

At first I was enjoying the book as a series of entertaining adventures that the two characters experienced. Then as we saw their relationship growing and deepening over time, I found it increasingly moving.
