About this listen
Short Story Press Presents Will's Way by Tara Mitchell
"Will's Way" tells about a young man growing into his own during his senior year in high school. He was forced to leave his friends and swimming career behind when his father lost his job. They moved as a family to Florida from Iowa. Will felt so far away from everything he knew and he was angry that his parents made him move once again.
Will devises a plan to return to Iowa and finish high school where he had started and been so happy. He approaches his parents with his plan and to his surprise finds he has their support. He and his father had always had a somewhat distant if not strained relationship. Will was however very close with his mother and his little brother. He didn't necessarily want to leave his family but he wanted to return to the only place that ever felt like home. He works and saves money for his move and in doing so he grows into responsibilities he had not anticipated. He goes about making that plan work until he finally sees that he is very happy, successful at work and relationships, and best off right where he is.

Growing up in the foster system, Della never really had anything to call her own, not even a last name. Now, the truth was exposed, but there was still so much she didn't know. Hoping to learn more about the mother she never knew and maybe discover a bit more about herself along the way, Della travels across the country seeking answers - and finds far more than she bargained for. An unimaginable world - one on the brink of war - is pulling her in and making her claim a birthright she never knew she wanted.

Up and down the streets, neighbors quietly bear the weight of their own pasts - until an accident at the community pool upsets the delicate equilibrium. And when tragic circumstances compel a woman to return to Sycamore Glen after years of self-imposed banishment, the tangle of the neighbors' intertwined lives begins to unravel.

Their college romance and tireless work ethic built a bright future for their family, as well as a portfolio of 35 million.

After waking from a coma following a car crash, Beverly Thornton's once sweet and gentle disposition had been replaced by violent mood swings, profanity-laced tirades, and uncontrollable fits of rage. Inside the Thornton house, floors and countertops were piled high with dirty laundry and garbage because Bev was unable to move well enough to clean. Dinners were a Russian roulette of half-cooked meat, spoiled milk, and foods well past their expiration dates.

After waking from a coma following a car crash, Beverly Thornton's once sweet and gentle disposition had been replaced by violent mood swings, profanity-laced tirades, and uncontrollable fits of rage. Inside the Thornton house, floors and countertops were piled high with dirty laundry and garbage because Bev was unable to move well enough to clean. Dinners were a Russian roulette of half-cooked meat, spoiled milk, and foods well past their expiration dates.
