In Rocks Just Below the Surface, Howard Pearre presents a collection of stories about men and boys facing difficult choices, unexpected setbacks, and the lasting consequences of their actions.
Organized into three sections-Lessons, Uniforms, and From Here To There-the collection explores family relationships, military service, responsibility, loss, and personal growth. Some stories are told through the eyes of children learning hard lessons, while others follow adults navigating the demands of duty, loyalty, and circumstance. Some stories stand alone; others are linked, offering readers a deeper look into the lives of recurring characters.
Whether humorous, reflective, or heartbreaking, these stories reveal the hidden struggles and quiet triumphs that shape ordinary lives. Readers who enjoy character-driven fiction will find memorable people whose decisions illuminate the complexities of human relationships and the enduring search for meaning.
Particularly appealing to veterans, military families, and readers of literary short fiction, Rocks Just Below the Surface is a thoughtful collection about doing one's best when life rarely offers easy answers.
One dollar from the profit of each book sold will be donated to WFDD Public Radio.
