Short Stories of Love and Loss - E-book - ePub

Can we survive the loss of our loved ones? Harmony and discord map all relationships. So, we see: Edna and Gordon, old enough to bicker, but still young enough to love. Jerry, who ignored a cry for help, leading to his cousin's devastation. Nancy and her husband, who cruise to a surprising destination. Ben and Marlene, the couple who desperately want a child. Gladys, ready to abandon home, but maybe not her husband.
Peter, who drinks away his wife and son, then sees salvation in his stupor. Maddie, a prostitute who treasures her daughter more than herself. And Cathy, the child who returns to her mother. The stages of grief. The sounds of the season. These 12 stories depict the development or dissolution of long-term connections, portraying need as well as rejection or reconciliation. Each explores the profoundest of themes in a poignant meditation on families in love and in loss. CLICK above to join this journey of life: love; loss; and survival.
