We have two more stories for you on this edition of Valley Writers Read.

The first story is by Joe Hemphill and is titled, "Boots". In this story, the author, who has cerebral palsy, tells how his good friend helped him purchase a pair of boots that might help him walk again.

And then, Janice Stephens describes finding her roots in the backwater country of North Dakota with "Dust to Dust".
