Crosswinds

By Michael A. Thomas

Book Overview

CROSSWINDS is the story of an impulsive young man's attempts to make sense of a confusing world and to act honorably in circumstances riddled with corruption, bigotry, and pettiness. Pathos and suffering are central to the humor of the book. The story that CROSSWINDS relates emerges in the ambiance of Southeastern New Mexico. It is a regional novel in the way that all novels are regional, the story plays out in a particular place and the characters are true to the types of people one finds in that place.

Customer Reviews

Read this book...It's a blast!

I was supposed to read this book for a class called "Meet the Authors" about a year ago at the University of New Mexico, but finally got around to reading it a couple of weeks ago. As someone who grew up in eastern New Mexico, this book is a perfect description of life in one of those small towns. It had me laughing the whole time. If anyone happens to read this review...go ahead and buy this book. You won't regret it.

Humor adds to the human element of life.

Interesting, entertaining book about a young man's escapades as he struggles to control his inappropriate responses in stressful situations and win back his wife.
