Publisher's Synopsis
In Silent Sam, an unassuming young man who witnesses a shooting in a small Western town sets out to right what wrongs he can and reaps a surprising reward. Potter's Tales continues the story of Gresham Potter Kranz III after he becomes the town's sheriff and dispenses justice for crimes from cattle rustling to murder.
Revel in the rich variety of Alan Arkema's imagination as it ranges from reminisces of a hot-headed teenager to the adventures of a lively squirrel. From a counselor who saves a marriage to a sturdy Dutchman who saves a community church, these stories explore the depths of human resilience, integrity, and absurdity. Rounding out the collection are poems that explore the full range of human emotion, from radiant joy and deep grief to, at last, quiet discovery. Marvelous in its range and diversity, Silent Sam and Other Stories offers an unrivaled adventure into a rich and surprising world where justice prevails and rebirth is possible even after the longest of journeys.
