Single Tree

An amazing collection! Richard takes us into the worlds of characters who are as varied and complex as life itself. Sometimes tough sometimes tender and caring these stories touch our humanness in ways that are as deeply satisfying as they are entertaining.<br> -Laurelee Roark coauthor of <i>It's Not About Food</i><p>R.V. Schmidt is a born storyteller of the outdoors wild animals road trips heartwarming coincidences and salt-of-the-earth relationships all set in layer upon layer of natural western beauty carefully observed and beautifully described. At root is deep wisdom evolved from our rough and penchant frontier ethos plus Schmidt's boundless acceptance of life. All you need is a quiet evening a comfortable chair and a fire in the hearth. Hard to come by nowadays but Single Tree will create that wool blanket and those warm crackling logs in your heart.<br> -Clive Matson author of <i>Let the Crazy Child Write</i>
