Ian Fletcher. David McGregor’s Diary. Timberlake, NC: Righter Pub. Co., 2006.

When a writer buys a used desk he finds a diary written by David McGregor, a North Carolina man, over a period of several years in the late 1960s. This book is that diary, which did not record the entirety of McGregor’s daily life, but rather one specific part of it: his torrid affair with his wife’s best friend.
