The Morning Fox is an unforgettable collection of twenty-eight poignant short stories about love, loss, hope, and life lessons.
In “We Love the Things We Love for What They Are,” a police sergeant tries to save a suicidal woman and her baby while dealing with the death of his wife in a car accident. In “The Old Jesuit,” an aging priest goes on a quest to atone for a mistake he made early in his priesthood. In “Letters of Hope,” residents of a small town receive mysterious yet uplifting letters of encouragement—until the letters stop. In the title story, a man’s dying wife tells him to feed the fox that used to visit and play with their dog. All of the elegant stories in The Morning Fox overflow with humanity, compassion, and quiet optimism.
