Patrick Crabtree and his sister Janet are faced with the task of going through their father's belongings and preparing the family farm for sale after his death. The difficult relationship they had with their father, especially after the loss of their mother, was always going to make this a painful task. What they discover in the process, however, changes everything they thought they knew about their family. The question for Patrick and Janet is whether these revelations will further drive their own lives into dysfunctionality, or whether, just perhaps, they might provide the impetus for healing. 
In Crabtree, King takes the reader on a nostalgic journey into a past that was never what it seemed, explores a present filled with regret for what might have been, and suggests a future that still holds hope.\n"Reminiscent of R J Waller's Bridges of Madison County, Crabtree will tug at the heartstrings of anyone who has struggled with unresolved relationships. Set in the picturesque farmlands of Michigan, Susan Zerlaut King, delights the reader with scenes of country life, while exploring the less-travelled spaces of the grieving heart." 
- Dimity Knight, author of Turning the Wingnut 
and The Name Thief of Neverland\n"A gripping account of old memories and new discoveries as a man closes-up his childhood home after a challenging relationship with his recently buried father." 
- Rick Eikel, author of House with a Heart

Fourth in the Stories of Life series, Papa's Shoes is a collection of true stories of faith, written by ordinary people who encounter God somehow, somewhere. Some of these stories are set, as you might expect, in hospital wards and graveyards, on mountaintops and in churches. But others take place along city roads, rural roads, manicured gardens, weed-infested ones, home kitchens and fast-food chains. It suggests that there is nowhere beyond God's almighty presence. Taken together, these stories turn our gaze to the vast immensity of a God who is near us and who cares deeply for his creation. In these stories, God answers existential questions, provides practical solutions, and reminds a family of his love with something as commonplace as a pair of papa's shoes.

Dymphna Lonergan began creating this book as a learning aid for Irish language friends in South Australia and later as a way of recording some events in her life. The English and Irish versions of the stories run parallel on the left and right to allow multi-lingual readers to strengthen their use of the new language.

There is an old saying An elephant never forgets. NK Hatendi's short fiction stories are inspired by her African childhood memories and didactic tales based on multicultural and migrant experiences. Some are light-hearted and celebratory, while others are weightier and include psychological traumas, ageism and family life. All provoke memories one is unlikely to forget.
