Synopsis:
Split Rock Road is a collection of stories from first-time author, James McAllen. It consists of 20 stories about ordinary people in less-than-ordinary circumstances. There are stories of loss and redemption. Stories of faith and hope, and the frailty of the human spirit, from the young child afraid to face his parents, to the recent widower afraid to face the world without his beloved wife. Split Rock Road is the 2014 winner of the IndieReader.com Discovery Awards for Short Stories
Review:
McAllen's writing is strong, and he does an excellent job of building scenes and settings and creating memorable characters, such as a widower who poignantly recalls his last days with his wife. Some of the 20 stories are more successful than others, but overall, it's a promising debut." - Kirkus Indie Reviews
SPLIT ROCK ROAD is a collection that will easily evoke an emotional response from its readers. Sometimes that response will be uncomfortable, sometimes uplifting, but it will always be honest. - IndieReader.com
