    About this ebook

    Much has been written lauding the silver rain and golden daffodils, the birdsong and magnolia bloom of the green and growing early years of our travels along life’s road. However, neither the freshness of Spring nor the lushness of Summer can surpass the breath-taking landscape by the Master Painter on Autumn’s canvas--where the road wanders through mellow sunlight from a matchless blue sky, past gray leaning barns and browning haystacks, across quaint bridges spanning rambling streams where prim white sycamores chaperone flamboyant oaks and brazen maples.
    This collection of 20 short stories offers a new landscape of comfort, inspiration, and hope to those in the so-called Autumn of life. There are tales that deal with the despair of losing a loved one, the challenge of raising a grandchild, the busyness that shuts out wonder and joy, racial differences and enduring friendship, widowhood, the empty nest, the guilt of a doctor who could not save his own son, a mother who fears her feelings toward an unwanted pregnancy have doomed her late-born child, and other issues faced by those in, nearing, or passing middle age.
    For those who find themselves at that milestone in life’s road where they are looking back at Summer or forward into Winter—here is The View from October.
