Devastated, Julie should have forgotten him, but nobody told her how to stop loving someone.
Twenty five years later, Julie, a recent widow, begins to search for the only man she truly loved. Over the next sixteen years her search, which takes her to the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico, is fraught with one bizarre twist after another, drawing her into a fascinating psychological maze with a surprising outcome.

Beyond the Mundane: Unravelings— This is an anthology of mystery and horror stories in the tradition of those wonderful old Alfred Hitchcock books where dark crime and supernatural stories sit comfortably side by side. Most of the contributing authors, with a few notable exceptions, won't be familiar to horror fans, and are better known for their work in other genres. This does not mean they don't know how to tell chilling tales, however. [Among] the twenty-eight stories collected, Carolyn Russell provides a pair of tales featuring horrible husbands and fathers getting their due. Cemetery Dance Review
