Synopsis

An automobile accident ignites flashbacks in a World War II vet revealing suppressed PTSD, a little girl from Korea stuns the family awaiting her arrival, and a high school senior struggles with her boyfriend’s grief. These and other stories in Getting Past Point No Point illustrate the author’s belief that a story has to take the reader somewhere, that something has to happen to one or more people in the story which will change them or their situation. People may come back to where they started, but they will not be the same.
