Where It Doesn't End

by Tom Twitchel

In a retirement community five people are on different paths. Some have almost given up, others are seeking what they've been missing. The problem is, they aren't sure what that might be.
And then a stranger arrives. Their pasts confront each person, and they must think about their futures as they rediscover thoughts and ideas they had stopped considering.
But who is this man? They face a mystery with no certain answer when he vanishes. All that remains are the things he touched; and five friends discover how much one person can change everything.

Short, quick read.
Touching, that’s the first thing that comes to mind.
A literary journey taken by five.
One presence, offering only one thing, changed their world.
They were seen.
And things they were missing slowly returned.
The individual characters, and their backstories are incredibly affecting. The personal experiences sound true to life.
I hope there’s another book that follows this one.
