Book Life (Editor’s Pick and November Spotlight

“Side by side with the paintings, Whitacre’s book serves as a deeply personal yet relatable account of one woman’s life and turn-of-the-century lifestyle—and clearly demonstrates why this talented painter and pioneer stands as someone to remember.”

The Compulsive Reader, thanks to Charles Rammelkamp

The Elk in the Glade is Bruce Whitacre’s tribute to them all. It is a lovely and delightful read that brings the America of pioneers and homesteaders alive.

At the Inkwell, thanks to Monique Antonette Lewis and Benjamin Schmitt

“Whitacre ends his book with an encouraging image of relationships and shared memories and I wonder if this is why so many of us find family history so enthralling. Our links to the past can tell us everything about what we ourselves will eventually leave behind.”
