Blurb:
In their small town in the Pocono Mountains, Earl Knox and Hank Grisset have never been considered among the pretty ones to anyone but each other. As lucky as Hank and Earl consider themselves to have found each other, that’s about as far as luck has gone. All those Could’ah— Should’ah— Would’ah— moments a man never sees comin’, but that don’t stop him from regrettin’ them later in life.
When Earl makes a critical decision that ultimately outs him and Hank, a mysterious plane shows up at their lake house. Coming out in a small town can erase friendships in a heartbeat. But when a rift in the family leads to a life-threatening accident, only their love for each other is gonna get them through this—that, and their plane from nowhere.
Review:
I have to admit, when I first started this story I wasn’t sure I was going to like it, but by the end of the first chapter I was hooked.
Earl and Hank are both ordinary men who have an extraordinary relationship. They’re devoted to each other despite the many obstacles their love has had to overcome…or maybe because of it.
I came to love both men and admire their determination to give the people they loved the best they could and I have to admit that I was moved to tears on several occasions by the tender love they share.
The supporting characters in this story are mostly non-existent except for Earl’s daughter (whom I adored) and grand-daughter and of course, the mysterious, mischievous plane.
Its arrival seems to coincide with a dramatic change in Earl and Hank’s relationship and while it didn’t have anything to do with the actual change itself, it seemed to be a representation of how unexpected things can have awesome consequences. I have to admit, I didn’t see it coming when the whole purpose of the plane was revealed and I’m usually excellent at guessing plot points.
This is a wonderful story for those people who get tired of huge amounts of angst and pain and long for something a little sweeter. There are hardships to overcome, but I was never in any doubt that they would be conquered and I still found myself cheering them along to the end.
It’s a short story, but it has everything it needs to be complete and while I wouldn’t have minded reading more about these two men, I wasn’t left with the bad kind of “there wasn’t enough to make it work for me” kind of feeling.
The only complaint I have isn’t really a complaint, just more of an observation. I was worried at first that the tone and language style the men spoke in would become cheesy over the course of the story, but for the most part, it just became a part of their character and worked to help us get to know who they are.
I will be looking for other stories from this author and hoping I find them as pleasing as I did this one.
