About this ebook
A local basketball hero comes to a sad end. An aging movie legend’s power ebbs. A once promising artist reaches out to an old friend with astonishing results. A long-divorced couple meet for the last time. When his brother dies, his only sibling considers their life-long relationship. The author wonders who will remember his long-dead beloved grandfather and muses about his own mortality.
These short stories and poems explore the human heart with empathy and insight. Writing that is personal and universal.
