Interwoven characters measure humanity's progress on a rumbling cross-country bus.
A retirement home escapee is off to parts unknown. The Devil quits (he's in love with a waitress). Unexpected gunshots create late-night companions. A traveling salesman gets to choose his own place in the Universe. A wandering ex-priest searches for answers on a messy legal pad. Somebody's flinging pennies at a naked businessman and she's not at all sorry that it hurts. Stranded, a worried student finds himself, and dinner, deep in the middle of nowhere. A drunk widow skips the service. A long overdue family reunion solves nothing and resolves everything. Then two lost, grownup kids decide something really big for the rest of us. But the Bus Driver? All he's praying for is a good night's sleep.
. . . this is a unique, intriguing offering with an overriding sense that people love and hurt and suffer, but ultimately goodness prevails. The author draws authentic characters and, often, startles with poetic imagery. - BLUEINK REVIEW
A compact yet expansive novella . . . Fike constructs a deeply human tapestry, with each thread weaving a new reflection on fate, memory, and the peculiar beauty of shared silence. - Carol Thompson, Readers' Favorite
Beautifully written, powerful, thought-provoking, and a fun little novella. - What Cathy Read Next
