I always love reading about people. I love reading about where they started and how they ended up where they were. In The unbelievable life of a country boy we see Lt. Col Peter Jack Newton seeing where he started and how he was born in the South and lived through some difficult decades and his journey to WWII. I enjoyed learning about him.
Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for allowing me to read a copy of this book -- all thoughts are my own.

This is a great story of an ordinary man who did great things. I loved all the personal pictures in the book. This is a great story about simpler times.

Peter Jack Newton is a humble man who believes in God, family, and country. That is typically what most people all are comprised of basic life principles. However, he is s a little different this simple and I don’t mean simple of the mind because he is a college graduate and raised his kids and put them through college and maintained a family farm they have owned for generations. This man has never drank alcohol, nor does he cuss and he does not smoke! Another thing he doesn’t believe in credit at all! So, we have a man who fought for his country sustained an injury to his hand married the love of his life and came home and had a overall good life.

The book for me just seemed to center on the same theme that he believed in God and he was a good father and husband. The chapters from the children were wonderful memories of their father.
I just couldn’t find myself wanting to turn the page, but I did.

I received an advanced copy from NetGalley and this is my willingly given thoughts and opinions.
