"A stirring, inspiring celebration of friendship..."The Prairies Book Review
"There is healing in nature, there is reconciliation around the guys that know you best, and the best rejuvenation is 'Friends In Low Places.'" Josh Suchon - author, Miracle Men: Hershiser, Gibson, and the Improbable 1988 Dodgers
"A nostalgic nod to the friendships we hold dear and the kinds of men we've always admired." Jonathan Starke, author of You've Got Something Coming
Jim organized their annual guys trip to the lake. He picked the date. He booked the spot. He even chronicled every adventure over the past 20 years in a ragged notebook. Now, he is a box of ashes that his four closest friends will take up to the lake one last time. Over the course of their final weekend together, they will read Jim's journal through his eyes, reliving their shared laughter, life moments, revelations, and regret while coming to accept their grief.
Friends in Low Places is a funny, poignant, sometimes heartbreaking portrayal of male relationships and the support they provide as boys mature into men.
