Description: 173 pgs.Paperback, brand new, New Edition, direct from the publisher! Most of the stories and poems in this book were compiled from handwritten notes in journals I've been keeping for several years. The title story, "The Waterfall", is a powerful study of loss, acceptance, and growth. In "Butterflies", a young boy learns a lesson about acceptance and appreciation of what he has been given. "The Lighthouse" is a moving tale that's as close to poetry as prose and offers a beautifully upbeat ending. "Grandma Brown" is a nostalgic and emotionally moving tale of familial love. "A Boy and His Dog" tells the story of a young boy learning to accept that nothing is ever truly lost. "Waiting" is an incredibly powerful and moving tale of a man's love and acceptance in the face of the finality of dying. "The Source" is a classic short horror story. "And When I Got Home" features a young man finding his own path to spiritual enlightenment. This book includes a short collection of poems that range from the unusual to the more traditional and beautiful. This book closes with a short story, "Wisteria", a moving vignette of a man visiting his now abandoned childhood home and realizing that nothing ever truly dies. I think there's something here for every taste and hope that all who read these words will find meaning in them! What other readers have said: Well Crafted and Engaging "I found this collection of short stories and poetry thoroughly delightful. Coleman’s descriptions of the countryside are vivid and enticing. His characters are fathers, sons, childhood friends, grandparents, and lovers. He includes a dog, butterflies, an alien, and a wisteria among his other characters. All of his stories are thought provoking, challenging the reader to see life in all its richness." A thoroughly enjoyable collection of stories and poems "Beautifully written, this collection of stories and poems is an eclectic mix of genres and technique, but mostly just good, sound storytelling." Wonderful “Following random roads. Contemplating a sky full of stars, this is a charming read. The tales are reminiscent of another time. Wander into this book and you’re sure to find something you forgot, something you care about. Nice find. Five stars." A collection of gems "This collection of short stories and poetry are well-crafted and beautifully written. It takes talent for a writer to evoke every human emotion in the pages of a book. The vivid descriptions are captivating, and I found myself immersed in the rich imagery. The sympathetic characters have souls, and their stories stay with you."
