New Yesterdays by Jim Wright is a poignant read for all ages. Jim Wright has eloquently penned this novel with such an effortless flow and rhythmic prose that seamlessly transferred from one century to another. Starting around the 1960's, the reader is introduced to Jim and his vivid imagination. An MC with an innocent outlook and heart of gold, Jim is instantly relatable and even admirable at his young age. Through one of his many wild adventures, the reader is then transported back to the 1800's and becomes accustom in the way of the Cherokee.This novel is a powerful depiction of the ongoing struggle in the New World between the Natives and the Colonists at that time. It managed to show acceptance from both parties but never shied away from the harsh reality of war and man's lust for power and dominance. New Yesterdays is a breath of fresh air and brought us back to a time when children didn't rely on television or video games for entertainment. They made their own adventures courtesy of a vivid imagination & a will to dream. It showed a world of naivety and wonder perfectly juxtaposed with hatred and fear. Since arriving in the Indie publishing world, we've given dozens of reviews and have had the pleasure of reading hundreds of great books. But we had yet to find that gem which caused us to STOP! & reflect on the writers gift which made him or her stand out from the rest. Enters our first...Mr. Jim Wright!From the moment we picked up this book until the last line & final word we knew we had just that; a rare gem. New Yesterdays is a brilliantly written story & as fans now, we will be yearning for the next book Jim publishes and the first in line to snatch it up. Not only do we highly recommend this book. We challenge those of you readers out there, who are hungry for a great read to pick up your copy & treat yourself to this book as you open the adventure & fall in love with the story.
