During the week before Christmas, a second-hand store proprietor, known to all as the Greek, bitter from years of loss and sorrow, is confronted unexpectedly with his youth, and happier days. Meanwhile, a young, ambitious African-American has moved into one of the beautiful but long neglected homes around the corner from the Greek, and embarks upon an undertaking that will bring him inexorably into the Greek's sad and circumscribed life. Intertwined with the telling of those two stories, the generational tale of the Sardinian immigrants who built those very homes unfolds, and reveals how their lives and the lives of their descendants directly and profoundly affected the Greek's, in ways he may never know.

The author lives a quiet life with his wife and three dogs in a sleepy, leafy suburb of Chicago. His creative persona is now in its third recognizable incarnation, following the drawing, painting and sculpting that occupied him until his graduation from a small but well regarded liberal arts college on the east coast, succeeded hard by thirty-five years behind various cameras (see seanparksphotography.com). His current preoccupation with the quill and parchment is simply a return to the means of expression a struggling young bohemian suspected might be his most natural, set aside then to satisfy the exigencies of survival, revisited now with the benefit of some experience and perhaps a little wisdom, though not without the pressing awareness that time is not, as they say, what it used to be.
