About Product:
"I always meant to do it," she had whispered as she asked her husband to return a book that she had borrowed years before. 'Just to clear the slate ... "
It was a simple request, yet it was her last before she died, and as her husband, Gavin, returned the book, he felt a great need himself to go back, if it were possible, to settle all the little things in his life that he had left unresolved.
Zinnie Stokes, Zinnie Stokes is the fascinating story of Gavin Terry's efforts to make amends for past mistakes. He returns to Cedar City, where he had lived when younger, and is struck at once by how little-yet how much things have changed. He wonders what has happened to former friends, whether an old schoolteacher or store owner will remember him, and whether he should attempt reconciliation with a boyhood enemy. Bit by bit, he discovers how other people remember the incidents that have remained with him for years.
Then he meets Zinnia, a discarded memory from the past who suddenly takes on new significance, an acquaintance who had been the object of scorn by her schoolmates but who had blossomed into a hauntingly lovely woman. Donald R. Mar-shall, author of The Rummage Sale and Frost in the Orchard, has written an intriguing novel of love and change in which past and present meet and fuse.
