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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe 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? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAn Apology for a Man\u003c\/em\u003e 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: \u003cem\u003eThe work of being with the lake, the work of learning to just be.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-5676491\"\u003eDavid Herndon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mountain Page Press LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.33d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781952714207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1952714206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO026000\"\u003ePersonal Memoirs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PHI\"\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PHI035000\"\u003eEssays\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-NAT\"\u003eNature\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-NAT024000\"\u003eEssays\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mountain Page Press LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51141449941279,"sku":"9781952714207","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/6953\/0143\/files\/img_5183dc57-8366-4032-8961-d0e46dbc0dbc.jpg?v=1755673236","url":"https:\/\/www.mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/an-apology-for-a-man-9781952714207","provider":"MOCorrectionsbookstore.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
