Local Author Publishes Book, Folds Underwear

Kyle L. White, a local author, has had his book-length manuscript accepted for publication by Cornerstone Press. The book, titled Wisconsin River of Grace, is a humorous recollection of White’s childhood in—and attachment to--Wisconsin.

“Wisconsin River of Grace is about the mysterious pull of God's Country—Wisconsin,” says White. “It's about the way we want a place to belong or, more accurately, the way we belong to places. And, it's about how those places shape us.”

White currently lives in northern Illinois, with his wife and two children.

The book was released on November 13. During the publisher’s party, featuring chips, deli sandwiches and Point beer, White commented, “I’m excited that the book has seen the light of day, it’s been a long process.”

He went on to ask, “Where is this potato salad from?” Publisher and host, Dan Dieterich informed White that it was from the deli at Wal-Mart. White commented, “It’s pretty good.”

After two book signings and a reading on November 14, White returned home with his family. That evening they watched a re-run of “America’s Funniest Home Videos”, the one where a man gets hit in the crotch with a piñata bat. White folded laundry from the weekend and attempted to find matches for his kids’ athletic socks. His wife, Barb, asked if he would want coffee in the morning. “Only if you do,” he replied.

Recently, White was seen moving the large “Meet Author Kyle White” book signing posters from behind the chair in the living room into the laundry room, beside the dryer.
