Book Review -- Redhead by the Side of the Road

Redhead by the Side of the Road by Anne Tyler
Book Review -- Redhead by the Side of the Road

Micah Mortimer is a single, middle-aged man whose life is governed by routine. He gets by managing a small apartment complex and as a self-employed computer tech. He runs daily, drives carefully as if someone is keeping score, has a chore for each day of the week, and seldom deviates from his predictable life. Then his lady friend announces she is at risk of eviction and a young man appears who claims to be Micah’s son. His routine is upset in a big way and he takes a hard look at his life and who he is. I’ve been reading Tyler for years and she never disappoints when it comes to the human condition.

This title is available to download from Overdrive/Libby in ebook and eaudio formats on the library website at www.churchillcountylibrary.org.

Carol Lloyd is the Director of the Churchill County Library. She thinks she might be turning into a hermit. And possibly enjoying it.

His mother, father, Karen and Trent were neighbors of ours in Tonopah, Nevada. We moved to Fallon first and then the Kroll's later moved there also. Mother and Wanda were good friends. My brother Michael and Trent were playmates in Tonopah. Mother and my three little children visited the family at their ranch in Fallon. My condolences to Frank's family. May you be comforted to know that I care and I pray you will be comforted by your memories of Frank. Sincerely,Comment publication date: 4/30/26, 11:51 AMComment source: Frank Robert Kroll
