Author: Don Smurthwaite
About Product: Retired, and I didn't know what to do with myself, writes John Ashe, the narrator in Letters by a Half Moon. "You work for forty years and find your life equates neatly to a pension check and odd jobs, and a curious, somewhat desperate search to find more."
When his beloved wife dies without warning, John's life takes a turn he could never have predicited, and never would have made of his own choosing, as he struggles to survive a loss so suffocating that he can't define it. Why was she taken so suddenly? What more should he have learned from his vibrant Callie? And how will he fill the seemingly endless days ahead? Unsure of his direction, John begins what appears to be a common journey but one that leads to an uncommon destination.
About the Author: In his sensitive, insightful way, author Donald S. Smurthwaite (Fine Old High Priests and A Wise, Blue Autumn) has written more that a poignant love story. Letters by a Half Moon is a rare book, one that beautifully and intelligently explores the intricate and powerful emotions that bind a man and a woman and vividly describes the painful void created by loss. Beyond that, it explores what each partner must bring to a marriage if that relationship is to be truly whole.
Ultimately, Letters by a Half Moon is the story of imperfect triumph in the most difficult of circumstances, as faith, feeling, and thought lead John to surprising conclusions.
