When life begins to weigh too heavily upon her shoulders, tragedy befalls Glory St. Michael-she kills herself, choosing in a method uncommon for a woman. From this starting point, Walking on Glory takes us back into the life of Glory St. Michael and reveals the journey she took that led to her fateful end.
Having discovered wealth and connections after hitting it big in the Texas real estate market, flamboyant, bigger-than-life Glory makes a discovery-the most surprising of her life-in an inexplicable, unlikely connection with a man who on the surface seems very different from her.
Stephen Anderson is a writer of short stories who happens to be gay. Although Glory and Stephen initially may not see their similarities, they soon unearth a myriad of intriguing ways in which they are connected-including the tragedies they've both suffered. What blooms from the interactions between these two individuals exposes rich truths about pain and the human heart.
Written with vitality, humor, and gripping psychological perspective, Walking on Glory is a complex, cerebral look at the forward momentum of fascinating, unique characters-illustrating as it does so the profound impact the undercurrents in our lives can have.
