Awarded gold medal for fiction for 2014 by the Midwest Independent Publishers Association
Named a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 by the State Library of Michigan
Awarded gold medal for regional fiction, 2014 IPPY awards
•A young man longs to test himself in ways his comfortable suburban life will not permit.
•A north wood's rabbit hunt becomes a crucible in which a man examines the course his life has taken.
•A woman's memories of childhood abuse threatens her marriage.
•A businessman uses his youthful love of baseball to remake his life.
•An old man visits the scene of a story that has haunted him throughout his life.
Reflecting the unique insights of an engineer who began writing fiction late in life, these and the other stories in Donald Lystra's SOMETHING THAT FEELS LIKE TRUTH take us on a page-turning journey through the American heartland to as far away as Paris. In fierce but tender prose, Lystra writes about ordinary people navigating life's difficult boundaries---of age and love and family---and somethings finding redemption in face face of searing regret. Although spanning half a century, these are timely stories that speak about the limits we place on ourselves, both from fear and for the sake of those we love, and of our willingness to confront change.
