The anthology begins with Dandelion Man-the four loves, the first installment of The McMichael Trilogy. Praised by Mary Cowper from the Midwest Book Review as "enticing with a dedication to a very different era... well worth considering for general fiction collections," and described by the Catholic Fiction website as "both powerful and interesting," this story introduces the lovable Diane McMichael and sets the stage for an unforgettable trilogy.
Next, Heaven Sent takes readers to the serene woods of Northern Michigan. This heartwarming coming-of-age tale follows a young boy spending his summer with his grandfather in Topinabee, where he learns valuable life lessons that stay with him forever.
Pharmaceutical injects a dose of political intrigue and conspiracy, with Karen Kelly Boyce, the 2012 recipient of the Eric Hoffer Gold Award in Fiction, noting that "we may have a Catholic Robin Cook" in Kreucher. This gripping narrative will keep you on the edge of your seat.
The anthology continues with The Inn at Heron's Bay, a novella set in the quaint coastal town of Topsail, North Carolina. A tale of an innkeeper's struggle to preserve her family's legacy, an artist's quest to capture the sunrise, and a poignant discovery of a lost masterpiece.
Finally, Roses in December concludes the journey with a poignant and tender tale of a man with Alzheimer's and his devoted companion, exploring the depths of love and memory.
