Tom Fool & Three More by Robert Covelli
Synopsis:
Contemporary fiction at its finest, Tom Fool and its three companion stories are profoundly moving tales. They’re emotional. They’re insightful. They’re compassionate. The book has been praised by editors who were unwilling to take the risk of publication in today’s market, but the title piece has been compared to the Celestine Prophecies. These four pieces dramatize the inner lives, the ironies and conflicts of people we all know. The stories savor our dreams and point to possibilities, to fulfillment and joy!
