Murphy’s Picks

As an avid and discerning reader, Murphy is a trusted source for award-winning books. Although choosing a favorite was not easy, he clearly gives a paws up for Field of Memories: A Tapestry of Heartwarming Short Stories. Good choice, Murphy—others seem to agree.

Field of Memories by D.L. Norris is a wonderful collection of short stories, made so much better by the fact that they are real. I am rarely moved by a memoir written by, and about someone I do not know, or know of, but Norris’s short story format pulled me in straight away. Once I was deep in the pages, I could not put it down. This is a lovely collection. Very highly recommended. ~Reader’s Favorite, Jamie Michelle

I enjoyed this book immensely, laughed out loud, recalled my own life, nodded often in agreement with her observations, and even shed a few tears. Field of Memories by D. L. Norris is an exquisitely inspired portrait of a well-lived life and will be an inspiration to any reader. ~ Reader’s Favorite, Jon Michael Miller
