Echo
From the best-selling author of small-town romance novels and poetry, including Old Flame and Pieces of You, comes a new collection of reflective prose.
Thoughtfully written, Echo explores the powerful and musing themes of love, life, loss and family ties from an intimate vantage point.
This is real. It’s life. At times, it’s light. At others, it’s heavy. But we keep going because we must—because, frankly, it’s all we can do, sometimes.
But maybe, just maybe, if we’re honest with ourselves, we’ll discover a quieter reason for trudging onward. Deep in our souls, I think we keep going, simply, because we also just really love the light, damn it.
So, whatever heavy you’re going through, keep going. The light is coming. It tends to echo back at the oddest times.
