Immerse yourself in this touching harvest of fiction by Hardy Menees . . .
The deeply human characters in this collection of short stories and novellas will wrest your heart strings and leave lasting impressions:
- In "The Third Dark Morning," a would-be writer who yearns to pen a complete work breaks free of his paralyzing excuses.
- "Another Solder Lost" paints a rural doctor and his dying patient as they share life lessons with openness and honesty.
- "Small-Town Seuss" describes a gentle physician whose unique brand of humor endears him to his family and the entire community.
- "To Tiny," a short and engaging novella, captures a cross-racial friendship between two French Quarter street musicians.
- In "Truth Be Told," a young banker abandons family tradition and a pending marriage to follow his dream of teaching writing and language.
- "Cat's Quest," the capstone story in the collection, tells of a young Irish nurse who pursues her calling as a nun while struggling to reconcile her love for her lost child and for serving God.
You'll be charmed and enthralled as these unforgettable characters, and the others in this collection, pursue their passions, dreams, and life purposes.

Menees, Hardy C.: - Hardy C. Menees has been a raconteur for decades, spinning stories to entertain family, friends, clients, and colleagues. With this fiction collection, the raconteur has become an author, proudly following in the footsteps of his journalist father. Faculty at Princeton University urged him to pursue a career as a college professor and author after he earned a bachelor's degree in English literature (cum laude) in 1970. Instead, he opted to attend law school and and has practiced as a civil trial attorney in St. Louis, Missouri, for the last forty-eight years. Menees holds two law degrees: a JD and an LL.M., the latter earned at age seventy-four. He and his wife, Kathy, live in Kirkwood, a St. Louis suburb, near their two adult children and four grandchildren.
