Any Man

“She just disappeared…”



It happened so long ago that most everyone has forgotten. No one knew, of course, what had really happened and that kept them from talking about it. It wasn’t a family secret; in fact, it wasn’t a secret at all. It was just something no one ever talked about. No one ever said anything about it. Just like no one ever spoke of Ella, my aunt who went missing.



“She was supposed to come home on the train but she never got there.”



No one knew what happened to Ella. It’s a mystery that was never solved. Or is it a crime that was never punished? More accurately, it is the story of a father’s love as he searches for his missing daughter. It is a journey that he takes in the hope of bringing her back home.



“He never gave up looking.”



A mystery, a journey—Any Man, the story of one father’s search for his missing daughter.
