Book Synopsis
"the dark grey sky, days blend into nights,
nights into the stars, over and back again
a thousand years could pass before i hear the words in your voice once more"
"the crunching of gravel under car wheels as you pull into my driveway
the silent wings of white-tails floating across the bright blue southern sky"
