Life Is a Puzzle with a Few Missing Pieces


Book Description

Author and humorist Preston Lawhorne was born and raised in the South. His childhood is just one piece of a larger puzzle that spans the years of his life. In this new collection of short stories and recollections, Lawhorne pays homage to many of the pieces that make up his "puzzle." Some of these pieces are people who guided him throughout his life. Others are events that changed it completely. As he examines each piece, Lawhorne's unique southern humor and gentle insights will put a smile on your face. Along the way, Lawhorne discusses the naming traditions of the South, the special time he got to spend with his father, a formative moment at Stump's general store, his mother's "One for All" approach to child raising, the origins behind his aversion to sushi, the world's strangest eating contest, the last stagecoach robbery in American history, and more hilarious adventures. While Lawhorne's tales sometimes include rivalries and conflicts with his brothers, his love for his family shines through in every story. He makes it clear that these were the pieces that mattered the most, and the lessons they taught him have followed him ever since.

Liu "I cannot tell you how much this has helped me today. I cannot get anything done because I can't stop reading! My whole life has been a mess because of these men. My eyes are finally opened - maybe a bit late, but still opened." SuckerNoMore "Thank you for making me feel sane again." Tom "I wish I had read this years ago; it would have saved me money, heartbreak and pain. I met a one eight years ago and I believed I was with the man of my dreams. It's been a nightmare. I often wondered how I got caught up in this crap but reading about it has open my eyes." Michelle "I truly believe this info saved my life! I thank God I found it and I thank God you are eloquent enough to cut right thru to all the things I have been experiencing with this monster but was never able to verbalize! it felt like you were speaking directly to me! Thank you again for all the incredibly insightful info." Duped "I have no words but thank you so very much!" Anthony "After countless sessions with a therapist this makes more simplistic sense of what I had been going through in marriage. Very insightful and I wish the readers acknowledged. Wellness." Eric "I just want you to know what a valuable service you've provided by creating this site. I stumbled upon it the other day while doing some research on psychopathy in an attempt to understand how the individual I was involved with could do all the things he did. It was such a relief to realize, after reading several of your posts, that this monster who had me believing he was one in a million is actually just one OF a million... psychopaths. He's no more than a common, predictable set of symptoms and patterns. He fits the mold perfectly. I understand better than ever now that none of this was my fault; that he targeted me; and that the mental anguish he put me through was something I could not have resisted if I tried... because I could never be someone who thinks the way he does. Your information helped me realize that fully and take that last step of discarding any last little attempt to "reconcile" the unthinkable." L.B. "Thank you for a brilliant and concise definition of a psychopath. This information is the best I have seen on this topic...I now know I am not crazy. Thank you.
