Ordinary Reckonings: A Collection of Short Fiction by Wayne Jordan
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3.6 MB | Version: Retail
Overview: Some of the choices that shape a life barely look like choices at all.
Ordinary Reckonings is a collection of stories about the moments when work, family, loyalty, necessity, and circumstance quietly alter the course of ordinary lives.
Moving across generations, from mountain towns and farms to mines, institutions, and family homes, these stories follow men and women confronting what life has handed them. Some act deliberately. Others are carried by custom, obligation, fear, or simply by failing to choose.
The consequences may be immediate. Or they may take years to reveal themselves.
Rooted in the communities, landscapes, and history of Appalachia, Ordinary Reckonings explores lives shaped not by grand gestures, but by the smaller decisions and turns of circumstance that accumulate into something lasting.
For readers drawn to character-driven fiction, Appalachian settings, and stories that linger after the final page, this collection offers a close look at the quiet reckonings by which ordinary lives acquire their weight.
