Greenwood Line of Products

Greenwood, with its Southern setting, is a book that transcends geographical boundaries. The characters within its pages are relatable, entertaining, good-hearted, and at times quirky - all driven by the same familiar flaws and tendencies that we as human beings possess. It is this relatability that often leads the characters to make puzzling and sometimes baffling decisions in their lives.

Take, for instance, Merle Flack in the story "Sara Jean's Bees," who, despite having a paralyzing fear of bees, decided to transport an active beehive in the backseat of his car to his sister's new home. Or Robert Lee Johnson in "A Game of Chess," who detested camping but still chose to hike the Appalachian Trail.

The common thread weaving these stories together is a theme of belonging and sense of place. In the main story "Greenwood," Hamilton Green returns home after years away and reflects on the mix of emotions that come with his homecoming. He feels a sense of gratitude and sadness for having left behind the warmth of his family and community for so long, yet he also finds joy in the deep connections and sweetness of life he has rediscovered by returning to his roots.

Approaching Greenwood not just as a collection of interconnected short stories, but as an invitation to return home after a long absence, may be the key to fully appreciating its depth and richness. It is a reminder that, no matter where life takes us, there is always a place where we can find solace, connection, and a sense of belonging - just as the characters in Greenwood ultimately do.
