Epiphany

From the bestselling author of eight novels including <i>Run with the Horsemen</i>. <p/> Each of these novella-length tales focuses on an epiphany--a revelation born of an unlikely interchange. A quixotic old doctor who loves poetry and battles bureaucracy talks with his new patient an ex-con whose story of racism and injustice changes them both. The mettle of a man's 40-year marriage is examined when he and his wife on an expedition to gather wild plants survive a series of odd accidents and strange encounters in the remote Georgia mountains. A group of smart-alecky high school seniors interviews the town's oldest citizen and learns a lesson or two about the not-so-good (but maybe not-so-bad) old days and the bonds that can bridge generations. In <i>Epiphany</i> Ferrol Sams once again displays the warmth humor and wisdom that have delighted readers and earned him many a comparison to Mark Twain. <p/> In typical Sams style the three stories . . . are written with humor and heart. He is a master storyteller.--<i>Macon Telegraph</i>
