A Dry Heat was surprising and wonderful. Short stories based on real life events, it’s engaging and easy to follow. It kind of took me back to my own childhood, teen age and then adult years. Gregory Williams’ family sounds like the type of family that I would have loved to hang around with. Mr Williams descriptions of characters and places are easy to imagine. Highly recommend.

This is a collection of short stories that will resonate with you long after you've finished reading. Gregory Williams' collection is a chronology of life and its challenges.

You don't have to have grown up playing baseball or be a physician to love this collection. It's great to sit down with if you only have a little time on your lunch hour, or you could read the whole thing in a lazy Sunday afternoon.

The triumphs, travails (and temptations) of doctors dominate the middle group of stories, while the concluding stories focus on old age, loss and closure. My least favorite story, 'The Rainbow Trout,' may well be most people's favorite. By refraining from telling us what to think or feel, and instead showing us what the characters think, feel, and do, Williams allows us to enter into their moral world and reflect upon our own.… (mehr)
