“It’s so very hard to die in little pieces.”
A collection of four short stories and poems. Shock: An idyllic day of rest on the beach is shattered by tragedy which results in phantasmagoric travel through time. Abused: Do the child victims of abuse grow up to be abusers or are they able to overcome their past? Andy is born to an abusive parent. His life follows the tragic script which is interrupted by good fortune. But will it be enough? Letters to Jesus From the Grave: The dead plead their case from the grave. The Minister: A child gives the appearance of avoiding reality which is hurtful to his mother and confuses his father as he lives a secret life in the open.
“A debut volume of short stories and poems explores the impact of human suffering. Maddy’s greatest strength is his storytelling…”
