Jayne Moore Waldrop, an author from Cadiz, offered these positive character books:• To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee• Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo• Eli the Good, by Silas House• Charlotte’s Web, by E.B. I’ve read only parts of author/speaker David Brooks and his book, The Road to Character, but I love the title — as it implies developing good character is a process. Connecting to my lede in this column, let’s start a grassroots movement to insist on the value of good character in those we choose to lead — regardless of political affiliation.
