Although it is a work of fiction, this book accurately portrays life on the Colorado rocky mountains while dishing a subtle educational twist. Because it's free, I've already downloaded a free copy.

My daughters live in Colorado and I have enjoyed the beautiful scenery when I visit them. Being raised there, I'm sure the author has many insights to offer and adventures to share. Great review!

While reading the sample of this book today, I forgot it was fiction! Your review reminded me of what genre it is, and I have to agree with you that the author has a beautiful and easy expression to the writing. I could visualize the scenes. Just like you said here, I felt as if the scenes were real. Nice job on this review. I appreciated further insight past what the sample pages provided.

I'm always hungry for adventures. It appears to me that this is the right book for that especially when it takes place in Colorado region and it's outdoor focused.

This historical storytelling of Colorado Springs in the 1950s of an All American family sounds amazing. I already enjoyed learning about how they fished.

The story of Danny Gray looks like an adventurous story. The story depicts the life of young Danny and his adventures in Colorado. I liked that the book has an educational angle to it. I would love to read it as it has a perfect reviewer score.

This seems like a very humble countryside read. It reminded me of certain books like the Pine Grove that I once looked upon. It sounds like a very interesting read and I'm definitely looking forward to check it out. Thank you for your review!

Thank you for your descriptive and informative review. I like books where you can relate to the characters and their lives. I am sure I will be able to relate to Danny and his family even though this takes place in the 1950's. I have traveled extensively in Colorado and surrounding areas and look forward to living their adventures along with them.

Morning is Always Nigh by John Wickersham
This review makes me glad I have downloaded the book. I have a 12 year old grandson and this sounds like just the type of book we can read together.
Adventures in the 1950 were different than today and I look forward to reading about the ghost train and the mountain lion especially.
I am delighted that this was professionally edited and proofread as I spent many years in those professions.
This reviewer praises the flora and fauna of Colorado and I am so interested in reading all of the descriptions of the various plants and animals.
I hope that this book is as pleasurable as this review.

This sounds like it may be an alright book to read as far as for educational purposes. Yet, just basing my judgment on the reviews I do not take Morning Is Always Nigh as a book that I have any real interest in reading. That is more so because I have not interest in the objectives of the book as it is displayed in the description.

I don't tend to like reading books that are a collection of stories. It's good that the book is educational and has a range of rich vocabulary, so it sounds like it would be a good book for young readers, especially as the protagonist seems to go on various adventures e.g. exploring abandoned mines, encountering the ghost train and seeing mountain lions, etc!
