Scar Songs: Stories by W. Royce Adams
These stories move the emotions. They are like a swing that does not stop swinging. Each one I have read has been meaningful. There are not too many characters. The dialogue is easy to follow. With all of that goodness, the stories stab our reality. It is like a piece of our heart has been taken and measured for pain and joy. In one story, a man is in the hospital visiting his ex-wife. She is dying. What should he say? He chooses honesty. He recalls all the pain she caused him. Does she hear him? So, there is a way through hard circumstances. There, you can choose to hide your feelings or let them show. The way he chose left no pain for him and we hope no pain for her. Of course, there is more than one way to look at a story. These are classic for a book discussion. Also, blocked memories become unblocked and those times relived.
