Ed’s Hopeful Journey, Book One of the Love Shines Through series. Prequel to Something I Haven’t Told You.https://www.amazon.ca/Hopeful-Journey-Love-Shines-Through-ebook/dp/B0CW1H26G6/ref=sr_1_1?

Ed’s Hopeful Journey is a short novel, prequel to Something I Haven’t Told You, and takes place five years earlier.

Do you like a grumpy man trope? Like in A Man Called Ove? If so, you might like this.

If you read Something I Haven’t Told You, you probably noticed the self-centered, sour nature of Alison’s father, Ed. Especially at the beginning of the story. But underneath, deep in his heart, there’s another side to him.

In this story, he receives an emergency call that sends him on a journey, hoping to restore lost relations. But Canada is a big country, mostly rural. Travel can present crazy inconveniences. Frustrations come in many forms. Will Ed find grace to overcome?

Ed’s Hopeful Journey works as a stand-alone, but also has connections to Something I Haven’t Told You. The two books don’t have to be read in order. It’s only 34 pages on Kindle. Unfortunately that means it will not be published in paperback. I hope you’ll enjoy it! Spoiler Alert: It can be a tear-jerker. There is tragedy. But “Love Shines Through”, hence the name of the series.
