Better on a Rising Tide was my first Tom Kelly purchase and remains my favorite. I have every book he's written, all of them autographed, and consider myself a member of the Tenth LEgion, SW MO Division. If you have ever taken one of your children hunting, you owe it to yourself to read Better on a Rising Tide. If you've raised a daughter who's a turkey killing machine, who is a bit headstong, and who you've married off... as I have...you MUST read "Tide."
