His Last Nine Words

A collection of interconnected stories concerned with the loyalty, love and desire that bind families together and the emotional and spiritual forces that may rip them apart. Fathers yearn for deeper connection with their sons; sons chafe under their fathers' control and wonder about their own lives. From aged patriarchs to distant dads to a Vietnam vet who fears he cannot have children to a five-year-old boy and the Hollywood grandfather he has never met, these are very real characters and stories that capture the small, epiphanic moments of life.
