Things Left Unspoken: A Novel
This is one of my favorite books ... namely because it begins with a scene based on truth. It snowed the day we buried my Uncle Jimmy. The snow wasn't blinding. Not a snow-storm. Just flakes of snow floating from heaven. The thought of the day and its moments caused me to jump up, run down the hall to my home office, and write the opening words of "Things Left Unspoken."
