Here are stories written and compiled over the years 2015-2023. Many of them are based on my personal experience in the half-century from the late Fifties onwards but have been given the cloak of fiction. It is Autofiction that is meant to be read in the spirit of openness by all members of the human congregation.

Stories written, submitted, rejected, re-written, combined, disintegrated, edited, and re-submitted many times. Like a treasured recipe, altered and fine-tuned and dependent on the ingredients at hand.

In the end, I believe At Bay Press and I have made a collection that is comfortable on a wide variety of bookshelves, nightstands, coffee tables, and in commuter jacket pockets. An eclectic variety of readers; including but not just Mennonites, nor Anabaptists or Christians, and not just those who are none of those.

I hope all my readers, no matter their filters or experiences, can draw from this book. My aim is to make available meaningful connections for readers and provide thoughtful enjoyment through the characters’ lives and interactions. I also want to enable readers to relate when read as stand-alone vignettes or when viewed as a whole, from the broader narration that the plenary arc seeks to achieve.
