Jubilee
Briggs Carney was a trailer park teenager when he lost the love of his life to one of those 460,000 mystery disappearances that occur every year.
Only later did he come to know how singular she was and how the memory of some people we encounter is impervious to the slow erosion of experience that frees minds, allowing us to move forward in a silent anguish.
His was a lifetime spent never quite feeling he was going in the right direction. A living in the shadow of that missed chance.
His own destination unclear, he fell into a quiet existence of driving other people to theirs.
Dame Neelia Granville, Penhaligon-scented world filled with afternoon high teas, tweed, and Barbour-clad hunting parties over the fog-enshrouded moors of English country estates, unfortunately had time leading her in a circle, too.
Summons to White Marsh
September 11, 2001 upended the lives of countless Americans. Many of those lives had already been stressed by other, more personal events.
Bardance Calhoun was no stranger to loss. When he learned of the tragedy that morning from his hom on Chincoteague Island, his sister's voice would prompt his return to a world he'd been hiding from for more than a decade.
There would be more loss, to be certain, a strained trip to New York City with his mother, and a reunion with his estanged father.
But there would also be a tender-hearted, sold man to comfort and even heal him. Sometimes, tragedy brings only heartache and sadness. But every once in a while, it brings us new, healing love.

The reader is presented with a bold, brewing conflict of the most elemental kind: what do we mean to one another, and how much of ourselves do we sacrifice in any event.
Sometimes there are no words for what happens to us. "Saturday In The Park" is about what happends to so many, has for so long, was happening as this was being written and is read.
A timely story about sexual assault and, as it turns out, still of the the oldest stories ever told.
