    A Story To Bring a Lump To Your Throat and A Tear To Your Eye.

    At its heart this is a moving tale of tenderness and the things we do for love, of how a relationship between two people endures, despite time and change and aging. A tale of ordinary lives, and ordinary people, set in a small town in East Texas, an environment that will already be familiar to readers of Christopher Cook's earlier collection of fine short stories, 'Screen Door Jesus'. At the same time it is as superbly crafted, as richly descriptive as the author's other works, and along the way, meditates at length on universal matters of faith, belief and the hope of salvation. The novella just builds and builds to a finale that made me suspend my own disbelief and quite literally choke back tears - proof enough of the writer's way with words.
