Red Road Redemption: Country Tales from the Heart of Wisconsin, is an unforgettable collection of short stories filled with haunting characters, both human and animal, overflowing with thought-provoking drama, humor, and nostalgia. Take an unquiet walk in the woods, peer through a poignant lens at disappearing family farms, and cheer for the dog pack struggling to bring home the best gifts ever. Find a holiday allegory to share, classic car memories, and the story of a bull who purrs, all seasoned with triumph and tragedy. Encounter the Unseen Menace, the Old Grey Mare, and a distinctive terrier named Dickens. Meet the Forest Witch, grieve in the hay loft of a magnificent barn, and rejoice in the yarn of the Pink Tiger. Each of these ‘Country Tales from the Heart of Wisconsin’ is a unique depiction of the varied inhabitants found at the farm, an Amish harness maker’s shop, the neighborhood tavern, and right next door: all in the heart of red granite country. Join us for a memorable stroll down that iconic red gravel road. Endorsements Red Road Redemption is more than just a captivating collection of short stories. They are tied together with love, humor, and heartbreaking moments that pull the reader in and circles back with a powerful “aha” ending that ties the entire collection together. Throughout, you are in the hands of an extraordinary storyteller. ~ Nick Chiarkas, award-winning author of Weepers and Nunzio’s Way Sometimes clever, sometimes heartbreaking, but always lyrical, Fullerton’s stories explore the intricacies of the human heart. She writes with an honesty, empathy, and grace that will engage your intellect at the same time it touches your soul. ~ Maggie Smith, author of Truth and Other Lies A delightful read. A plethora of emotions from beginning to end. Joy, anticipation, grief, and everything in between. ~ Brea Behn, author of the Love & Surviving series |
