About this listen

 Aiden and his grandmother, a bit of a con artist, spend a day scheming to get money for sick family members. This short story, the opening chapter of a novel-in-progress, was accepted for publication by seven literary magazines and deemed "story of the month" by one of them. In 2017, James Mulhern was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. "A terrific psychological drama--Does Aiden grow up morally stable-or follow in his mother's/grandmother's footsteps? Does he come to believe that religion plays such a dynamic role in determining right from wrong?? Fascinating/ gripping read" (FICTION on the WEB). "A great read. Love the way the grandmother is depicted--three-dimensional with frailties and conflicts, like all of us. Interested to see what happens in this family. Laura's presence is felt strongly throughout, yet we never meet her, a sign of skillful writing" (FICTION on the WEB). "Great read! - I finished the story and thought of how much it reminds me of James Joyce - the descriptive prose . . . very humanistic themes of religion, alcohol, family, and the search for meaning" (FICTION on the WEB). "Aiden's grandmother is a very flawed and complicated woman. . . . It is also clear that she loves Aiden and her daughter very much, and she is trying to teach her grandson about the pain and reality of life and the importance of being strong. I look forward to reading where this story takes Aiden and his family" (FICTION on the WEB). Christian Fiction Genre Fiction
