A Speck In God's Eye

A Compelling Memoir-Heartwarming and Humorous

"All-important, the old shanty dominated their childhood." A uniquely interesting book, A Speck In God's Eye shares a brother's and sister's real-life stories from the 40's & 50's, spiced with humor, adventure, and a vein of spirituality.

Excerpts from the book:

            Dad never closed the shanty until the water froze over for winter.  He never wanted to miss the final hunt.  The wind, the cold, the snow, and down would come the bluebill from the north, over the choppy water.  If we were lucky enough to be sitting in our blind, in the middle of Spring Brook, in a blizzard, on the last hunting day, what a day it was—huge flocks of bluebill coming in over the decoys, and the old scow pounding against the waves.  I tried to keep low to avoid the worst of the weather, but I had to be ever watchful for any dark object rapidly approaching in the gray, overcast sky.

            Rocky’s menacing look erupted in laughter.  I looked at Jackie, and she looked at me.  There were freckles of black muck everywhere and rivulets of muddy water running down her face.  Then explosive laughter—Jackie’s and mine—hiccupping, wet-eyed laughter.  It was a happy time
