Too Kind for My Own Good

Sinossi

Description：
Mia Carter was a college freshman with a generous heart and a perfectly thought-out plan: sponsor two siblings through school, watch them thrive, feel good about it. The math made sense. The cause felt real. She'd seen it with her own eyes.

Four years later, she stood outside a brand-new two-story house she'd unknowingly helped pay for, watching the girl she'd been funding set off fireworks in the street.

She wasn't the only one.

Ethan Reeves — a young academic who'd spent six years sending nearly his entire salary to the same family — had no idea Mia existed. Together, they'd been played by someone who had turned systematic deception into a full-time job.

*Too Kind for My Own Good* is a smart, satisfying story about how kindness without discernment gets exploited — and what happens when two good people finally decide to fight back.

Being good is not enough. You also have to be smart.

Sun and Saddle Leather

Charles Badger Clark

Cowboy Poetry began as a 19th Century Performance Art staged around a crackling campfire, referencing tall tales and personal stories, lost girlfriends, and love of the vast unboundaried West. It was best accompanied by a hot tin cup of boiled coffee, dunked biscuits, and beef jerky. The rhymed couplets were easy to remember, and once the day's drive was done, everybody had a few hours to listen to friends and wonder at the stars. Badger Clark gave voice and record to this unique American folk art, and built on it to express his own creative genius. He was declared the first Poet Laureate of South Dakota, or as he liked to say, “Poet Lariat.”   Summary by Ed Humpal
