Under the Canopy  (English, Paperback, Cravey Charles E)

A logger, a farmer’s wife, two church painters, and two funeral directors find their paths merging at the crossroads of life. A young man learning lessons from the School of Hard Knocks, a man encountering his long-deceased father’s friend while getting a haircut, and Forrest Gump’s question to his mother – What’s my destiny? – are all examined in this work. They all tell their stories through the eyes and ears of a seasoned reporter, preacher, and philosopher. Take a journey through the eye of a needle and witness the pain, anguish, agony, and joys of life through the eyes of someone who has made such a trip and survived to tell his story. Under the Canopy is a series of short stories, personal events, muses and memories, religion, and philosophy that provides a glimpse into the extraordinary calamities and celebrations of ordinary and mundane lives.
