Christmas Gift For Rose (9780310336822) (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
He moved with sluggish steps as he unhitched the animal, brushed him down, and fed and watered him. Partly because his hands were frozen. He should stop taking the long route on these lumber deliveries. He should just face the fact that his choice had ruined his chance with Rose. No matter how many times he drove by she would not be interested in seeing him. He also carried the additional burden of seeing Harold Ault. He had not heard that the young man was back from the war, and now he knew why. How were Mr. and Mrs. Ault handling it? From what he saw, not well. Did they have hopes that their son would someday snap back? Jonathan hung the harness on the hook on the wall. He knew better. Even if the shell shock wore off, what Harold had seen would affect him forever. Jonathan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The whistles of the screaming mimis were present even in the silence. The smell of gangrene and trench foot. The tearful moans of men waking without sight, without the ability to walk.
