Featured Staff Pick bartenders tale

The Bartender's Tale

by Ivan Doig   (Fiction Doig)

reviewed by Pam E. 

This is a delightful story about a simpler time, a father's love for his son and their adventures in a small northern Montana town. The father is a proprietor of a bar, aka, the local community watering hole. We follow Rusty and his best friend, Francie, through their childhood, their adventures and their coming of age. I did not want this to book to end.
