Have you ever waited for a book to be published for so long that you just want the whole experience to last a little bit longer? That is the case with Will the Circle Be Unbroken by Sean Dietrich. As one of his number one fans for years I have longed for this memoir to be published and finally --here it is. A real copy of it in my hands. I waited to start it because I wanted to read it in one sitting and today was that day. What a glorious day it was!
Meet Sean Dietrich. AKA Sean of the South. Author, musician and all around great guy. Seriously. I knew from reading his blog and daily posts for years that his entire story had not been shared with us yet and true to form the words he penned in Will the Circle Be Unbroken are words that will stick with me for a long time. Sean reveals in his memoir many more details of his life than I had read before and this book made me laugh, cry, get angry and sentimental with every page turn. As a master story teller I believe the story of Sean's life is the best story he has told.
Brutally honest and revealing Sean chronicles more than just the tragic suicide of his father in the pages and leaves the reader with such a sense of being a part of his life that I felt like family. A family that hugs necks, that shares tomato sandwiches with Duke's Mayonnaise and that loves all things bloodhound. This is a family that I can belong to and one that supports one another.
Sean's story is a story of struggles and triumphs, disappointments and hardships that give way to success and fulfillment. The book is filled with quotable quotes and life lessons all wrapped up in glorious words. To say that reading this book was a joy is an understatement. I truly felt inspired and motivated as I read the encouraging story of Sean's life. Perhaps the best part of this story is seeing the transformation of a man who doubted his worth as a man to become an encourager in his very own right. With the support of a loving wife, Jamie, Sean has bridged the gap to become the voice of the overlooked. Giving others a voice and sharing their stories with others is such a gift that he is giving our world in a time when good stories really do need to be shared. Ignoring the advice of an executive at a large newspaper in Georgia Sean continued to write about the good things in life, the ordinary things turned extraordinary, the simple things. I, for one, am very grateful that he chose to ignore that woman's advice. The world is a better place because of Sean Dietrich. Keep on writing, Sean of the South. Your audience awaits.

Q & A with Sean Dietrich (a.k.a. Sean of the South), Author of Will the Circle Be Unbroken?

|
|---|---|---|---|
Where did the title of your book come from?The title comes from a hymn I particularly like. It was sung at my father’s funeral. My father committed suicide when I was twelve years old. It’s the only hymn in the hymnal with a question mark at the end. We sing a lot of songs that proclaim things. But this particular song, which I sung during the hardest day of my life, has a question mark at the end. I love that. My life is 98% questions and 2% total cluelessness. |
What is the book about?I’ve hit publish on daily blog posts for six years, telling other people’s stories—about waitresses, steel workers, ladies who clean hotel rooms, octogenarians rocking in the rocking chairs on the porches of Cracker Barrels. But I’ve never told my story. I think part of me has been a little bit afraid to do that. But, by Jove, I did it here. I hope to tell stories that make people feel good—even if only for a few minutes. The goal of my life has been to make people feel good. Anyone. Hopefully even you. |
Why did you write this book?As hardscrabble as this life is, I’ve found undeniable evidence large and small that life is beautiful, and the courage to chart a new way forward from any painful past can be ours. I hope my story gives you hope. |
