Once
again Jim Ainsworth has written a novel worthy of highest acclaim. His
characters come to life and leave the reader feeling as if you've known
them always. From the beginning, I couldn't put the book down because I
was drawn in to the web of intrigue surrounding Tee Jessup. Tee is
such a well developed character, very likable, and extremely believable.
This is another winner from an amazing author.

Another
winner from one of my favorite writers. Read this one first, and then
read "Firstborn Son." Characters are well-developed and believable.

Rails
to a River is the fifth book that I've read by Jim Ainsworth. It was
an amazing read! I literally had to put the book down after the first
two chapters and just digest what I had read. I think and I read in a
very visual way. Jim's development of characters, descriptions of the
scenes, and stitching together of the plot let the book flow through my
mind so smoothly it was like watching a movie on the big screen. I
truly look forward to getting "a'holt" of another one of Jim's books.

Jim's
characters draw you in --you feel and experience their lives as vividly
as you experience your own. Jim is a wonderful storyteller, weaving
personal knowledge and expertise into his plots! Wonderful reads!

RAILS
TO A RIVER is my first Jim Ainsworth novel, and it has been a true
pleasure. I can’t compare it to any of his others, but I enjoyed the
contemporary setting for an age-old sorrow where necessity drags a man
away from his dreams. While some might call Tee Jessup shiftless because
of his constant moving from one empty job to another, he is actually a
man honoring what is true within him but at a cost. The story keeps you
riveted because of the unexpected twists of characters and plot, but
this masterful writer keeps all the ends tied so the reader doesn't trip
over any of them. I haven’t read many books of late where I couldn't
wait to get back to my Kindle, but this was one. Ainsworth’s passion for
his Texas home, its cowboy history and the very land under his feet
keeps his descriptions fresh and his story real.

Ainsworth
has written an intriguing story which cannot be predicted from one page
to the next. The turns and twists are marvelously woven together to
make the story live. I loved it. The only reason I did not give it
five stars was I thought the protagonist rose to the top of his
profession too quickly. Advancement in his chosen field comes more
slowly than it was presented. Don't let that opinion keep you from
reading this great story. It is well worth your time.

Jim
H Ainsworth is an avid story teller that writes in a style that I call
easy reading. He carefully develops his characters, weaves his
Christian background throughout his stories, and the stories keep your
interest. I have read seven of Jim's books and I am currently reading
the eighth. I find his writings to be both educational and
inspirational. I recommend Jim H. Ainsworth to all ages
