Long Gray Way Home

The Long Gray Way Home is a collection of short fiction that delves into the themes of love, freedom and a genuine desire to experience life. Some of the stories look into the heart of relationships. Others deal with abuse. All attempt to show people at a point where they not only recognize the good and evil that is a part of us all, but find a balance between the two. In the story Sympathetic Magic” a metaphor is used that shows how new life can come from death and change. Sympathetic magic, as you may know, is a kind of magic that happens when one event affects another. Versions of a Life” looks at a man who has been given many special gifts, but feels he should choose one--add to the situation a picture of a woman who must choose between three children. Is the choice (or all choices in life) fair--or even possible? Stories, like life’s experiences, are mirrors. Let us choose to look.Carpenter, Jill L. is the author of 'Long Gray Way Home ' with ISBN 9781413797794 and ISBN 1413797792.
