The Kindness Of It All (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798838415967)

A journey of one man's life through the agriculture and western industry in Alberta. From an eager, carefree boy to a methodical, outspoken old man. His tale is full of adventure, trials, love, and learning - while the kindness of it all is woven throughout.

Charlie Hyde is a good ol' Alberta boy. Charming, genuine, and hard working. He likes to let loose and he lives in the present. He is the son of a farmer and, although he craves adventure, he knows he will carry on the family tradition of working with livestock and making a living in the western industry. He can't imagine any other way of life.
As he grows older and his life views are challenged through hardships, he begins to see the growing opposition to everything he has ever worked for. Not only is his lifestyle misunderstood, it is actively demonized in modern culture and fought against. Charlie doesn't just ask himself why this is - he takes action. Sometimes the best way to give your side of the story is to simply tell it from start to finish. All of the good and all of the bad. Charlie speaks the truth of his story and leaves the interpretation up to the audience which is a refreshing break in a world that seems to be constantly pushing a personal agenda.
Charlie Hyde is a fictional character that many of us will relate to. He is a representation of the rural Albertan men of the past. Like all of us, Charlie is imperfect. And he is part of an imperfect industry. But as you will find as you read his story, some of the most beautiful moments come out of the imperfection.
