Book Description

December 8, 2004
Clay Williams is an ambitious Lead Systems Engineer who’s worked hard to establish his career and highly regarded reputation at the company. His relationship with his family, however, is deteriorating because of frequent business travel and endless hours at work.

While quail hunting in the woods of his Uncle’s farm, an unexpected encounter leads him to Hartwin, a quaint little town along the Missouri River. During his visit, Clay finds new hope by discovering the fragility of life and family, and the timeless influence of choice through the lives of those that lived before him.

The journey leads him full circle—back to the woods where it all began.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable!, March 17, 2006

This review is from: Gone But Not Forgotten: A Christmas Story (Paperback)
Clay Williams' life is falling apart. His marriage is a bit rocky. His children are growing up without a father due to his job. Clay gets to relax very few weekends and when these are come around, he likes to go pheasant hunting on his uncle's property.

One year nearing the Christmas holidays, Clay is out shooting pheasant with his old trusty hound dog and runs across an old cemetery. He sees apparitions and hears voices of the children. Upon checking the graves, he finds something a bit disturbing--all the graves are marked with similar cherubs and a statement: "Gone but not forgotten."

As Clay explores a little more, he is informed by the ghost of the young girl that one member of the family is missing. Clay sets out to find out what happened to this person, and on his journey he learns a very important lesson.

This was a very quick read.

Armchair Interviews says: A very enjoyable, ghost story set at Christmastime to bring the spirit of the season around to a family that had almost forgotten the meaning of being together.
