Find one good thing a day……….

Farrell’s inspirational memoir touches all who feel they are broken, alone, have no hope in their future, and those who seek a true purpose for their life.

 

The story starts with Farrell’s crippling childhood anxieties to a desire to end the author’s life after believing there was no future or purpose for his life.

“If you look for bad things you will find them,” Farrell said.

Then after a divine encounter, Farrell turned the corner and sought one good thing a day. His sports participation and an eventual perfect national collegiate football record stand today as a testament to the amazing blessings God provides in life.

“This memoir was a way to thank my family, friends, and teammates who’ve helped me,” he said.

In his North of Nelson anthology of short stories, author Hilton Everett Moore skillfully captures the heart of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with its unique characters.

“The very area is a character,” he said. “The land expresses itself. It makes my stories work.”

 

Moore lives in a cabin in a remote area of Baraga County and transforms the ruggedness of the U.P. in his magnificent six short stories which have a common thread.

“Each short story has a moment in time,” he said.

The protagonists, the Martins, are featured in each story as they accompany each individual character.
