Books with author Rich Davis

This warm memoir, set on a rural Michigan farm in the mid-1950's, delivers timeless lessons from a simpler day. A poor illegitimate child pursues personal dreams within the reality of harsh poverty; seeks simple truth within his increasingly complex world; silently grapples with personal guilt and loss; and wrestles with mental and spiritual growth as he searches for his place in his family and the universe. A barn burning, a family death, and a spiritual awakening are major events which bring the grandson and his seasoned leathery patriarch on a course toward lifetime resolutions for both. The author, born in Michigan but now a resident of Georgia, has waited over fifty years to write this story.

Spinner’s Secret is a wonderful story about a small, red, propeller-driven aeroplane that is uncovered by the men who are excavating the site for a new Transportarium in the great metropolitan center called Perfectcity. Perfectcity is a place that was created without flaw or imperfection by its founder, Doctor Notyme. Spinner teaches the people of Perfectcity that perfection without happiness will cause them to miss the most important joy of living, and that is love. Because he is a slow-flying aeroplane, he slows their lives down to the point that they can hear their own heartbeats. Perhaps you will find that Spinner’s Secret will touch your life, too.
