‚Every emotional payoff, whether flash-of-lightning funny or tearfully joyful, is earned through a rich depth of honesty that is the polar opposite of sentimentality.‘ — Darrin Mc Graw, coauthor of Animal Future.
This collection of contemporary short fiction includes a novella with a Father’s Day vibe, The Dad Who Stayed, and a dozen short stories.
In The Dad Who Stayed we see family, school, neighborhood, and the world through the eyes of a kindergarten boy growing up in an early-1970s progressive university town.
The short stories explore friendship, family, love, memory, and loss in ordinary lives scattered from middle school to old age.
Winner of a 2024 Silver Quill Award.
