'Soft And Gentle 14 ---A Remembered Prose' is a rare, hybrid blend of prose poetry, mini-story, and elegant, enchanting words expressed with heartfelt, captivating imagery and symbolism. It vividly depicts representations of emotions that everyone typically experiences at some time in their life. The writings carry mesmerizing and passionate descriptions which effectively transport the reader right alongside the author, seeing and feeling the sentiment of his writing. Most spend their younger adult years establishing careers and starting a family. Often, the passions most precious to them in their youth get lost in adulthood due to time restrictions and obligations. As time goes on and life gets even busier, it is easy to lose track of the more important things. We should always save time for family, dreams, and nature, all of which can significantly contribute to happiness. Author James A. Hunter fills his prose with selective, heavy-hitting impressions which beautifully portray that which many of us experience at various times in our life. 'Soft And Gentle 14' will deeply touch those relating to the happiness of love or the sadness of losing love or loved ones; it will move readers through vivid descriptions to understand the beauty of nature and want to know more about it themselves; it will motivate those aspiring to enhance their life through their own positive efforts; and it will inspire those refusing to let life's challenges get in the way of pursuing and achieving their dreams. This versatile, heartfelt collection of 200 pieces of concise prose poetry will relax and mellow the heart as it explores life, love, beauty, nature, happiness, hardships, dreams, and nostalgic memories. This work is a timeless treasure of observations which uniquely capture the soft and gentle aspects of life, just like the 13 prior books in this unique series.

Jim is the youngest of eleven children and grew up on a farm near the small rural town of Metamora, Indiana. His parents started their life together just before the Great Depression, so the children were raised with honesty and old-school discipline. They worked hard in the fields with manual labor but were clever and innovative enough to find time for hard play as well. They adopted many of their parents' values and were served well by them. That same family farm where they were raised still resides in the family over a hundred years after the grandparents settled there. Jim's love for the land led to him owning part of that farm for 52 years and still counting. He also owned much of the valley surrounding it for much of his life. Growing up and living with nature in those hills and that valley has provided the backdrop and powerful inspiration for much of his writing.
