Inevitably, one thing leads to another. A relative in Wisconsin emails to your librarians a clipping from a newspaper there—a “Dear Reader” letter from the publisher: “On aging and invisibility.” It’s engaging and insightful: “While aging can bring invisibility, it can also bring clarity. …we can discover what truly matters.” It prompts the purchase of a volume of Reflections by the author, Patrick Wood, which herewith becomes a Featured Book.
“[M]any of us are hungry for a hopeful and uplifting message during turbulent times,” he wrote in one of his newspapers, and so it was that he compiled some of his favourite publisher’s columns into book form. They point up “what truly holds value in our fleeting journey. Faith, beauty, and truth…though intangible, shape our perceptions, and give colour to our existence….”
“This is a wonderful collection of Pat Wood’s personal reflections,” one reader has attested, “which are universal and timeless. Pat clearly thinks deeply about the most important things in life…. Reflections provides a window into…what we truly value.”
Wood is the publisher and CEO of family-held Multi Media Channels, which manages 25 community weeklies and other media outlets throughout rural Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
