Falling Backwards: A Windowed Chronical of Loss and Finding

By John Gordon

His second wife divorces him citing no reason. Boredom, another man? He never finds out. The company he works for folds. Taking a job in far away upstate New York. he rents an empty farmhouse on Coal Yard Road giving his only companion and loyal friend, his dog, a huge yard to run in. Winter and his new job are both harsh and endless. His dog dies. He is broken, fallen past the bottom. An act of love and caring saves him from the abyss.

A seemingly random discovery forces him to examine his past soul-scared wounds. Starting with his early childhood and moving forward he comes to an honest reckoning of his independent self. He redefines himself free of the judgments of others.
