“Forty years after his death, I dream my brother and I are walking arm in arm down a country lane in the late afternoon sun. He's close to twenty in my dream and heavier, taller. I can't stop crying.
"Hughie, I've missed you so much. I just love you so much."
He looks down, squeezes me tight.
"I know, Cath. I know.”

Cathie, thanks for joining my community of friends. Blessings, Tom.
Hello Cathie! Thank you for adding this fellow author into your circle of friends here on Goodreads. I hope you'll add my novels including the cozy mysteries (What Would Nancy Do?, Lethal Prescription), In the Company of Women, The Christmas to Remember and Finding Normal to your to-read list. I look forward to reading your book reviews and recommendations. Happy reading!
Wonderful! Did you ever see the film? I am afraid to. At least I think there was a film - it certainly lends itself to the form! I just re-read To Kill a Mockingbird, which I ADORE. The film measures up. Am into short stories right now, obsessively.
Warm regards,
CB
Hey Cathie, thanks for the friend request. And I do love I Heard the Owl Call My Name. I read it in grade 10 in Fiji and I think it was one of those books that resonated with me and stayed with me. It's always awesome to meet a fellow Canadian!
