A House in the Neighborhood

 Angie and Warren Hardaway are on second marriages and are having trouble communicating. The problem threatens their marriage, and it isn't limited to their Asheville, North Carolina home - it's neighborhood- and city-wide. As COVID-19 hits the town and country, the problem begins to seem insurmountable. Too, there is another contemporary problem - police harassment. This adds to the twenty-first century complexities Angie and Warren are experiencing. The story is set against a three-hundred year-old tale of the white first settlers to encounter Native Americans in the Asheville area and how that affects their lives today. A novella.
