The Covenant & Other Stories

J. W. Clark

In this debut collection the author plumbs the depths of human emotions as the tightly drawn characters struggle, as we all do, with the choices they have made and those they must still confront. At the center of each story we find lost souls seeking meaning and purpose in the realities in which they exist and questioning how much of that reality is of their own construction.

Young love, hypocrisy, betrayal and disappointment, dissatisfaction and despair, redemption and hope.... No matter how different the lives of these characters from our own, the questions they grapple with are universal. What allows us to endure when we've reached the end of ourselves? Is love worth the sacrifices it requires? Can we learn from the mistakes of others or only our own?
