Today, we are excited to feature the voice of Linda Richard. Linda writes that author, Scott Barry in The Greener the Grass, “tackles” one of the hardest subjects, the loss of a dream, in this cathartic tale.


Scott is taking on one of the most difficult subjects of modern day youth. The loss of a dream. But, that does not mean all is lost in the end and that is well put in the book. This is somewhat of a cathartic book in my view based on a history of family discord and abuse, drugs and all the rest in a small town on the Sacramento delta. Scott took it all in and went to UC Davis, graduated with an engineering degree and played football well enough to get drafted by the [San Francisco] 49ers. Things did not work out so well, but he got over it and went on and is doing very, very well now it seems. Look forward to more from Scott. Inspirational book! – Linda Richard
