At first glance, An Apology for a Man is a simple tale of a boy, on the cusp of adolescence, spending one day on the lake fishing with his father. But author David Herndon weaves a tale of the boy''s joy alongside a father he longed to emulate. Using no names for people or places, Herndon''s memoir becomes a universal story of love, reflection, and growth.With no compass, map, or timepiece, they leave long before sunrise and return long after sunset. They predict the weather by watching the sky, wind and water, and judge time by the movement of the sun, moon, and stars. We meet some of the mountain people who shaped his life: the old woman with the pigs who sold minnows, and the thin old woman and the wiry old man. But looming largest of all is a mysterious man living a solitary life in the mountains around the lake. Was he real or imagined? An Apology for a Man is told in Herndon''s hallmark manner of speaking, a style common in the West Virginia coal mining camps of the mid-20th Century. The simplicity of language camouflages the profound insight this story imparts; a story described best by Herndon himself: The work of being with the lake, the work of learning to just be.

Journey with Ali as she travels East to India and Nepal, in her adventures of sobriety as she stumbles out of darkness and tries to find her light. This is not just her story, but the story of the strength that develops first within oneself, and then with others as we link arms to overcome addiction and trauma. Jeanne Ferran states: "Your story is universal not just for alcoholics in recovery but for anyone who has to be honest with themselves and face what destroys them. I love how you take us with you on your journey of discovery and how you weave these stories together in a tapestry of your experience, your goodness and your journey. I felt like I was holding my breath for a couple of hours. You are my new favorite writer.I am so impressed by your gratitude. You are inspiring!" Matt V. writes: " I appreciate your honesty imagery and anecdotes. It all rings very true in its unique way. I especially like the allusion to drinking and drugging as "taking out a second mortgage on your joy". Harry Goodheart writes: "Ali Webster writes straight from the heart and cuts to the quick. While spiritual transformation is an ancient theme, it is some of the most difficult writing to undertake and she does so with honesty, clarity and an infectious dose of hope for us all, vital for whatever walls we might have hit on our own personal paths."
