The Flapper

About the Book

An antique radio may hold the key to saving a life. A father teaches his son a valuable lesson on the horrific consequences of bullying. A man overhears menacing conversations between his renters…or does he? A lonely woman finds magical solace after hiring a mysterious laborer on her farmette for the summer. A cardiac surgeon has a nightmarish encounter with an unexpected patient on the eve of surgery. Friends plan a breathlessly-paced “bucket list” weekend for a young man starting an all-consuming new job. More than expert Charleston dancing may be going on at a charity benefit. These stories, poems and dreams explore universal human hopes and longings. This book is designed to spur questions: Is forgiveness absolutely essential to living our best lives? Would you give everything for a cause? What would you do to have a few more hours with a departed loved one? Is our time on earth really linear from birth to death or can we take detours?
