Fiction
From Alabama at midβcentury, there'd been John and his Evelynβnow from Minnesota at century's end, Price and his Joyβtwo couples whose struggles ran as parallel as rails on a track. Had John Hobson's smile been erased by a long ago war, or had he suffered a more defining chapter in his life? And what of his son, Price, the smallβtown boy who stamped his mark upon a corporate world that would ultimately crumble about him?
For one man, there'd been the lure of "Music City" versus the love of his treasured Evie. For the other, there'd been the heady rush of success followed by a precipitous fall from grace. To be sure, a shroud of guilt had marked both men, but when Price learns of his late father's ambition, his obsession with the past places his marriage in dire jeopardy.
John Hobson was gone now, interred ". . . in nested containers of earth, box and body," but the secret of his lifelong angst lay not beneath the hot soil of Gethsemane's cemetery, but beneath God's tree in a tiny glade one county over. In the end, a son's desire to bring his father's dream to fruition triggers deadly consequences, initiating a journey along a more imperative path.
