Hear why The New York Times Book Review called Cander “a smart, deft storyteller”.

Eloise hasn't quite figured out how to move on after the death of her son, Eddie. She makes good money, buys a new apartment, learns the piano, engages in an office flirtation, but nothing seems to brighten her days quite like the occasional letter from one of her accounting clients, Ed B. When, after months of correspondence, Ed invites Eloise to his country home for a visit, she finds herself overwhelmed by the "Eddies" of her life - the one she lost, the one she writes to, and the one she's eternally searching for.

"A powerful storyteller." (Lone Star Literary)

I almost feel inadequate to the task of putting a review into words. This was a short but completely fulfilling story of heartbreak and love. A whole life told in under an hour, and I think I experienced every single emotion there is, as I listened.

Perfectly written and expertly read, and I would recommend it to anyone who has ever cared about another human being.

This story will be in my dreams tonight for sure.

Achingly Beautiful

The story was good, but I really hate an unclear ending. The story leading up to it was good, if you like a peak into a mundane life.

The end wasn't great

I'm in my way to find the author of this book, kidnap him and make him rewrite this ending!

Hi, I'm Annie.

Captures the love and grief and hope of a lonely woman. I appreciated that that the main character’s emotional life wasn’t trivialized.

Loved this short story! It ends with my imagination running wild with scenarios.
Hoping for another chapter or 10 to this story with so much backstory revealed, yet not resolved.

Well done and I wanted more

Engaging from beginning to the last word. Such an emotional roller coaster in such a short time, amazing depth, really moved me.

Beautiful was the emotion evoked listening, beginning to end

Had great expectations, but the quality felt short. Has the making of a good story though, but it felt short. Maybe because it aimed to be short?

Not quite

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
So dark and lonely, bleak. Just when there might be hope for a sorely needed cheerful encounter, the story ends? Is there a missing chapter, or should l make up my own?

Where's the ending?

A powerful story, but not a happy one. There should’ve been one more final sentence: “I am coming.”

Powerful story-wrong ending
