height="249" align="right">HILTON EVERETT MOORE</strong>
is a published short story author who lives and writes at
his remote cabin in the near wilderness of Baraga County in
the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. He has held many positions
in his life including: a stint as a kennel man for a Humane
Society, a factory worker, later as a certified pipe welder
in the oil fields of West Texas, and also as an assistant
manager of a lumber company. Ironically in a chapter he
would like to forget, a gut-wrenching failed attempt at
owning a restaurant. After a midlife crisis he went back to
college and received a Master’s Degree in Social Work. Upon
graduation, he was employed in the Michigan prison system as
a Clinical Social Worker. Presently he enjoys writing in his
cabin in the wilderness. He likes to fish with worms..<strong>

height="320" align="left"></a>The short stories, such as
“A Shotgun Wedding", in <em>North of Nelson </em>are
relatable to anyone. In this chapter, a woman felt forced to
get married because of pregnancy and then found out she was
not happy with the result. Many people have struggled when
it came to pets and they were presented with problems that
were not easily solved which was described in the chapter
called “A Dog Named Bunny.” And the situation described in
“The Irascible Pedagogue” is equally relatable. If only the
protagonist had asked her to dance with him instead of
getting cold feet, things would have turned out so much
differently. That story reminded me of the movie <em>My
Best Friend’s Wedding</em> with Julia Roberts. Julia’s
character did a whole host of things to win back her friend
and take him from the person he was going to marry.</p>

16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;">I recommend this
book because of the stories filled with touching moments
about real-life situations and how the characters struggled
to overcome their life challenges. Sometimes a problem took
on a whole new life of its own without any solution. Moore
provided the reader with the ramifications of many of the
hardships the characters in his stories faced. I wanted to
find out what was going to happen to the well-developed
characters, individuals who resembled people I have met
throughout my life. Moore brought to life the pain Nimkii
experienced as a Native American woman and the pain of
loneliness for a boy while he dealt with polio. I highly
recommend <a
