Prune Pie, and Other Moving Stories
These three books are a collection of stories by Victoria Ward of life on the road with her soulmate, singing cowboy husband, Barry Ward, known by his friends and family as “Bear.” True, straight from the heart, in a homespun language that is compelling and entertaining. Often poking fun at her husband, or “getting thrown under the bus!” as Barry says, she occasionally owns up to her own blunders. Fun, often hilarious, moving, and memorable, the attachment to this couple and their children is unavoidable. After much encouragement from fans of Victoria’s blog; Prune Pie and Other Moving Stories debuted in September of 2015, but the traveling continued and so did the stories, thus came the second book: Prune Pie, A Second Helping in 2017, and then in 2020 came the third tasty iteration of pie: Prune Pie . . . Drive Thru Only.

Book Reviews
Originating from a blog, this book contains stories of the Wards, on and off the music trail. You’ll meet Barry as husband, father, performer and “victim” of Victoria, wife, mom and feisty prankster along with kids B.J., Hunter and Sierra at all ages and stages. Happily for the reader, Victoria writes skillfully as she draws sharp and entertaining pictures with clever timing and apt turns of phrase. Each story is brief enough so the book can easily be a bedside reader (or some other side…it is prune pie, after all). She was encouraged by her blog audience (“blogience?”) to assemble her stories on paper between covers with a spine, so she did…in a fun little volume. Plenty of laughs, and soulful moments, fill the plate. You won’t go away hungry. Fifty-five tales on two hundred thirty-seven pages.
