AWAY FORWARD

Small Town & Rural Fiction

On the last day of 1999, a quiet man with a fractured mind recalls his life as he embarks on a mission of love.

It is New Year’s Eve. Y2K and the snowy weather have put people on edge, but that won’t stop South Fork from celebrating the year 2000. AWAY FORWARD tells the story of a missing father, a daughter’s love, rural life, loss, forgiveness, and the hope that comes with a new year.
