A collection of five riveting short stories touching on the mystical, the inspirational and sometimes laced with a little trip to the dark side.
Mary Percy can see nothing that will change her mother from mending her ways. Her father’s death had resulted in unhappy results for all three of them. When her mother drowns her troubles with drinks, Mary hardens herself to maintain sanity at all costs. She decides to celebrate her father’s life and memory by capturing the poetry that he wrote so intensely atop a cliff close to home. But when she meets Brad, Mary unravels the most unbecoming truth about her father, about the strange nature of life itself and the reason why betrayals sometimes leads to truth in the most unequivocal way.
When Morning Comes studies the mental agony of a sick, old woman as she reflects on her unrewarded life and relationships while in the hospital. From the very beginning, the reader is curiously immersed in the old woman’s preoccupation with the noisy, old fan and then plods on to discover the emotional discords that befall the old woman as she reflects upon life and the family she loves. The story ends in the strangest way back to the old fan which promulgated the old woman’s concern at the very beginning of the story.
