Here’s to Hindsight — a review of sorts
I just finished reading Here’s to Hindsight, by Tara Leigh Cobble. (Someone asked me how I get so much reading done at home with four kids — 1. I shut off the TV at night and read — often for 2-3 hours, 2. reading is like a muscle, the more you do it the stronger & faster you get)
Anyway…I read this book because a) it was free and b) a blurb on the back compared it to Donald Miller and Anne Lamott — two writers I admire.
Tara is a “road musician” — probably someone you haven’t heard of, but who travels all over the country out of sheer love of music and a clear sense of God’s call. If you like memoir writing, you may enjoy it. Part of reading a memoir is that you begin to like/dislike the person and not just the ideas. With most books, you don’t really care about the author as a person — only their ideas. With this book, I found that I liked her, even though I thought the comparisons to Donald Miller and Anne Lamott were a little far-fetched.
Anyway…if you have any ambitions of having a Christian music career…it’s probably a “must read,” as it really describes life on the road and what it means to do relationships via long distance.
