In this thrilling short novel, a laid-back father-and-son conversation turns into a life lesson of trials and optimism. A successful journalist invites his son for an award ceremony, which may seem as something that could be either unusual or common at the same time. But for Gabe and his son, Mike, that rather bland and solemn moment turned into both a trip of a lifetime and a lesson on overcoming challenges and living life to the fullest extent. As the conversation progresses, with lots of flashback memories, Gabe's life lessons of resilience, strength, and positiveness captivate those around them and turn into a message that life is the best adventure that you could go on. Even if the ride of our lives is bumpy and full of gridlocks and roadblocks along the way

Step back in time to the tiny farm community of Osage Bend, Missouri, circa 1930-1945... Part memoir, part how-to manual, The Bumpy Road paints a vivid picture of life on the farm during the Great Depression. The author, recounting stories from his boyhood, brings to life the everyday trials and tribulations of his family and neighbors as they struggle to survive under daunting economic conditions. The hard work they put in was a given (to them), and their solutions to everyday problems were ingenious by necessity. And yet, they still found time to socialize and make the church the center of their lives. These tenacious people always looked to the future with hope and determination, and that comes shining through in this book. Depression-era, yes, depressing, no! So, discover the many facets of running a farm, how chores were done, the importance of family, and the many things that tied the community together. Marvel at the strength and resourcefulness of these rural Missourians-and take some of that for yourself as we endure our own difficult times today. Bonus: Includes photos and illustrations of farm tools, implements, and household items from the era, many of which you can now only find in museums.

Since very little in our lives seems to be making sense, we could take a sip down the madness lane. The book is a blast of humour meld with delicious ironies.The narrator stitches madness into his bumpy stories on the premise, "You have only a little spark of madness. You must not lose it." The fiction work palms off madness as a virtue, as priceless as sensibility. Although present in a tiny core, the sense of madness very often misses a lasting chance. The narrative dives deep enough to prove that if wisdom ever existed in the likeness of a double-edged sword, its two edges would be none other than the madness and sensibility. The narrator fly opens a narrow window to play mockery at the sad state of affairs. The serious aspects of the life of a middle - aged man, goes truly underrated. The writer seeks to add a fresh perspective to the typical problematics that are more than one in a day-to-day life. Though written in the format of diary entries, the sensual shock that each following line sends down the spine is inconceivable, until read. The characters inside the book are those people who will stay with you, even long after you keep the book down. As the story progresses, one character turns out to be a greater evil than the other. Even so, in a rare event a reader who duly sympathizes with the characters, after fleeting moments, would withdraw his sympathy and curse them instead.The writer upends on the paper, with the alarming yet promising hope that many episodes of bumpy rides are yet to be relished. So, curiouser and curiouser!
