In nine short, unflinching pieces, a father takes stock: the oldest son who vanished from his life and came back a stranger who calls him by his first name; the daughter he tells the truth about, twice; the son who spent thirty years believing his father was dead; the boy who was never his by blood and became his anyway; the son steady enough to hold the rest of the family together; the grandchildren who ask the questions he's still learning to answer; and, near the end, the three women who loved him along the way and the account he finally owes them.
This is not a tidy redemption story. Some of these relationships never fully healed, and the book says so. What remains is rarer: a man of eighty, telling the truth about who he failed, who found him anyway, and what it cost and gave him to become, late, the father he'd always meant to be.
Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
Edward C. Distel writes fiction shaped by memory, exile, war, and the quiet lives history often forgets. Raised in a multilingual household and deeply influenced by the immigrant experience, his work explores loyalty, identity, survival, and the stories people carry in silence.
Drawn to both novels and short fiction, Distel believes the most powerful stories are often the most intimate. His writing blends literary realism with psychological depth, creating characters marked as much by what they cannot say as by what they do.
He prefers to let his characters speak for themselves.
These are his first published works, though far from his only stories.
