TITLE: 13 Miles from Gilman, Illinois (And It Looks like Rain)
AUTHOR: SL Parker
ASIN: B0088ER580
PUBLISHER: Steven L. Parker
PUB DATE: June 1, 2012
FORMAT: Kindle Edition
DESCRIPTION: A poignant novel of friendship, loss and the dreams that drive us, 13 Miles from Gilman, Illinois (And It Looks like Rain) is a story of roads not taken – either through choice or destiny – and the ends to which they can lead. Michael and David want only to finish college, find careers and start families, but nothing is ever that easy. Before the school year is out, David will have fled the country in the face of terrible loss, leaving Michael to question his place in the world and his own plans for his life. From a brown and fallow cornfield in the Midwest to the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, the book takes us on a journey through the lives of these two markedly different, but somehow not divergent lives, until one ends in a tragic – and morbidly comic – accident, cut down by the summer of love. In the end, 13 Miles from Gilman, Illinois (And It Looks like Rain) is an intimate, moving and funny portrait of a man learning that an ordinary life – if lived well – can be an adventure all its own.
