Ted suspects that something is wrong at the Miller's house across the street. What he learns launches him into an uncomfortable and haunting encounter with his neighbor that forces Ted to look inward and examine his own life. Hale's page-turning short story, In the Shade of the Lemon Tree, takes Ted, and the reader, on an emotional, eye-opening journey that reveals one surprising truth after another.
Looking out on the city that never sleeps from his tenth floor penthouse, Daniel seems to have it all. But in The Letter nothing is certain, and a tragic turn in life takes him from New York City to the coast of Maine, as he clings to the hope of a past love that may be lost forever.
The themes of love and loss flow through the tender and touching short stories in this collection, finding drama in the seemingly simple routine of life-Saturday drives with a grandfather, a stroll along the beach where the past competes with the present, and the anticipation of a family wedding.
