The little girl who greets Frank on A Rainy Night told him about her father and uncle who had not come home from Afghanistan. But there was more to the story than she said … a lot more. Frank had already lost his wife and family. The girl’s loss reached out to him until the men appeared. In Ashes on the Ocean, her husband of forty-three years has died. Suddenly she was free of his strict ways. She rebuilds her life, filling the void he left with bright happy things. But she still had one remaining obligation—to get his ashes to the ocean. The temptation was to repay his years of intolerance in kind, but a promise is a promise. Being Dad is about healing. How do you bury the memories along with your son when he comes home from the war with an honor guard instead of a bear hug? Susannah finds out that parallel universes really do exist and that the Green Grass isn’t always quite so green on the other side of the fence. This collection of short stories are my favorite of the stories I have I written. Some are twisted. Some are fun. Some are sad and some are happy. Kind of like life. I hope you enjoy them.
