Excerpt from Gems by the Wayside: Or, Religious and Domestic Poems IT is with peculiar feelings that I present to the pub lic this book of verse; being aware that it will meet the keen eye of the critic. Some of my productions have appeared as fugitive pieces in various religious Magazines and Periodicals of the day; there is, there fore, less to be anticipated on that score, than if they were all fresh culled. If the mind Of the reader is not elevated with flights of the imagination, the heart may be cheered and encouraged, as it participates with the writer in the joys that flow from that pure stream which meanders through the valley of humiliation. Many of these effusions have been pencilled while suffering affliction from the hand Of a merciful God. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • BOOKER PRIZE NOMINEE • From the beloved Pulitzer Prize–winning author, a sparkling novel about misperception, second chances, and the sometimes elusive power of human connection. Micah Mortimer is a creature of habit. A self-employed tech expert, superintendent of his Baltimore apartment building, cautious to a fault behind the steering wheel, he seems content leading a steady, circumscribed life. But one day his routines are blown apart when his woman friend (he refuses to call anyone in her late thirties a "girlfriend") tells him she's facing eviction, and a teenager shows up at Micah's door claiming to be his son. These surprises, and the ways they throw Micah's meticulously organized life off-kilter, risk changing him forever. An intimate look into the heart and mind of a man who finds those around him just out of reach, and a funny, joyful, deeply compassionate story about seeing the world through new eyes, Redhead by the Side of the Road is a triumph, filled with Anne Tyler's signature wit and gimlet-eyed observation.
