I just finished
My Peoples Waltz by Dale Ray Phillips. It's a thin paperback I took with me on my trip. Very nice writing. The story plays out like a bad country western song - child of divorce grows up and gets divorced, but the characters, events, and surroundings are described very well.
It's somewhere between depressing and uplifting depending on how you look at life.
