Tales from Wexford Falls
Tales from Wexford Falls is a collection of nine short stories featuring characters and familiar locales from Pilotte's novel In the Garden of Aeden. Some stories can stand on their own, whereas others function as a sequel. Father Chris Tosi from Garden appears in some of the stories to offer wise counsel to those in distress, and his buddy Sergeant Smith (Smitty) is called upon when an officer of the law is needed.
The status quo is shaken as characters encounter life-altering experiences in this charming, typical New England town. Themes revolve around hopes and dreams, betrayals and disappointments.
Share Aggie O'Toole's journey as she copes with lost love and holds onto a secret that threatens to devastate her boss, Doug Sterling. In the final story, she joins him in making a monumental decision. Root for Ruthie Symond as she engages in a plan to rid herself of a unsavory former boyfriend and restore her imprisoned fiancé's reputation. Get acquainted with inn-keeper Clover Hollis as she finds herself with a grieving guest placed in an uncomfortable situation.
In this collection of short stories, the restorative power and catalytic role of art, poetry and nature provide distraction and comfort as hidden truths become known and characters remove blinders to the truth so as to embark on a new path in life.
