Where the Heart Is and Other Stories

What drives a person forward in this day and age? What makes them tick? There are no easy solutions, but in this eclectic collection, Jim explores possible answers. In this eclectic collection, you’ll be introduced to young Lindsey, whose love of wrestling helps compensate for the withdrawal of love by her mother. You will meet a present-day sailor who befriends a merman. You’ll be introduced to two brothers who learn the gift from their mother of gardening and growing their own food. You will meet a burned-out office worker who has an encounter with Henry David Thoreau. You will meet a woman who uses a magic wand to get even with bullies in a bar. You will go to dinner with a unique couple at a special lakeside country restaurant. You will meet a war veteran who learns the true meaning of life begins within, in one’s heart. 

These stories are sometimes humorous, sometimes sad, and always entertaining. Jim looks at life and comes up smiling. In the end, when all is said and done, no matter how tough life gets, there is one thing for certain. It’s good to be alive.
