Overview

". . . Inducted into the outdoors world by her father, Callie Lindstrom witnesses firsthand the jealousies, losses, and tenderness that have permeated her family's history. Under Szarke's clear eye and deft touch, the reader follows Callie's growth from a cheeky tomboy to a self-possessed woman, cheering for her on every page." ~ Pamela Carter Joern, author of The Floor of the Sky "The story in Delicate Armor could have been mine. As a son, I was raised to think that some day when I became a father, I, too, would have a son to pass on my love of outdoor pursuits . . . Instead, my journey through fatherhood included two daughters who became my fishing partners, hunting companions, and morel mushroom stalkers . . .What really matters is the . . . journey through life so elegantly described by Connie Claire Szarke . . . daughters can do outdoors whatever boys can do . . ." ~ Ron Schara, host Minnesota Bound television show "Move over, Mattie Ross of True Grit. Take a break, Huck Finn. Here comes Callie Lindstrom, as winsome a little mischief-maker as you'll ever want to meet. She's the star of Connie Claire Szarke's first novel Delicate Armor and once you've met her you're not likely to forget her." ~ Robert Lacy, author of The Natural Father "My affection for Callie, the feisty but tender-hearted narrator, grew with each chapter, as did my admiration for the author's ability to tell a good story and her wonderful ear for language . . ." ~ Stephen Wilbers, author, syndicated newspaper columnist "Huckleberry, Scout . . . Callie . . . She's a daddy's girl, intense with enthusiasm for her father's outdoor pursuits, and that father is worthy of her love for him. As an adult, despite experience that might have shattered her, Callie's good health continues, often expressed by the love and understanding she brings to the men in her family, especially the father who had so much to do with her ongoing wholeness. Szarke is above the cheap shots that other writers may have taken at these men, and Callie remains true to the child she once was, a not-so-common feat in the literature of our time . . ." ~ Joe Paddock, poet, oral historian, environmental writer . . . Szarke writes with compassion and artistry about a young girl coming of age. A keen-eyed observer of the challenges that confront her family, Callie takes us on a journey from joy to sorrow and back again. Delicate Armor is a compelling and deeply-absorbing read." ~ Brent Spencer, author of Rattlesnake Daddy: A Son's Search for his Father

Wonderful Read!

A wonderful,sentimental journey into the past. This book describes growing up in a small town in the upper midwest in the 50's and 60's perfectly. It has the added bonus of being set in my hometown. (Slayton,MN).
