I'm so looking forward to the release of Tender Bonds so I can share this story with readers. Things have been moving forward, and I hope it will arrive soon--I'll keep you posted. Meanwhile, here's another peek at Will Pearson, who has lost his family in an accident. The light from the living room shadowed his face. “After…at the service--the teachers from the school and some of the kids and their parents, they came. They brought these balloons. A whole bunch of balloons. Judy, Lenore’s mother, said later that she didn’t like them, that they felt too celebratory and we’d just lost…but I thought they were beautiful. I remember when they released them, all these bright colors heading for the clouds. I remember hoping Lenore and the kids were like those balloons, that floating up to heaven was like that. I wished I could float away, just be unanchored. Just head out, unanchored.”
