Storyteller Jim Lehman creates a tale that transcends genre, weaving a web of relationships that draw you in and make you care. The story begins with the life and struggles of two men in their sixties, offering a picture of male identity and friendship and asking the question what is the proper place of money. It quietly expands into a tale of characters taking risks and venturing into new territory. There are people of faith who defy the religious stereotypes of our polarized society: a liberal who sees Jesus, a cheerful agnostic, a painfully lapsed Catholic, and a monosyllabic ninety-year-old farmer with little education and a wise glint in his eye. All this is spiced by a late-in-life romance between people in their fifties and sixties and given dramatic edge when a pastor gets into trouble for performing a civil union service for a lesbian couple, triggering conflict, and a surprising climax. This is a story about people living in community with one another, ordinary people who do extraordinary things, characters who will intrigue you and make you glad you spent time with them.

James H. Lehman is the author of The Old Brethren and two children's books. He has been a freelance writer, and in the 1980s he wrote and produced audiovisuals. For more than fifteen years he did assemblies, workshops, and author residencies on writing for elementary school children, visiting more than 400 schools in 13 states. He is also a storyteller and is featured at an annual Song & Story Fest. He is married to Peg, who is a professional folksinger and teaching artist, and they have a daughter, Jessica, who is married to Steve, and a nephew Joseph who lives with them. Their son Josh died many years ago and they still think of him. Lehman is glad to return to writing fiction and has a particular fondness for the characters of this story.
