Walking Off Heaven's Shore

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

Walking Off Heaven's Shore is a collection of Southern stories where humor, heartbreak, and hard truths mingle like heat rising off red clay.

Each tale follows a woman facing a moment that changes everything: a baptism that can't wash away desire, a daughter's overzealous "makeover" rescue, a rookie firefighter stepping into the flames, a swamp-deep meditation on the soul, a coastal storm that turns betrayal into survival, and an unforgettable encounter with a man who might be a serial killer.

Ranging from raw realism to lightly surreal introspection, these stories explore identity, longing, danger, and the quiet courage to choose a different path—even when it costs more than expected. They illuminate small Southern towns, storm-bent coastlines, and the inner landscapes where memory, fear, and resilience collide.

Told with wry humor and deep compassion, Walking Off Heaven's Shore reveals the fierce humanity of people trying—and often failing—to do better. These are stories of women who endure, adapt, rebel, and occasionally set their own lives ablaze just to see what rises from the ashes.

Perfect for readers who appreciate literary short fiction with Southern flavor, emotional depth, and a bite of dark wit.
