Summer in the House of the Departed

Description

There's talk of a hole in the sky¿ In the summer of 1981, Brady's grandmother vanishes-along with an entire Texas town. There's no explanation, except those that don't hold any logic. Brady doesn't worry too much about that, having spent his childhood listening to his grandmother's stories and playing with the pencil-sketched ghosts in her old Victorian: the young Shirley, the injured cowboy Glen, and others. This is a sometime place not an all the time place¿ In the summer of 2025, a world-weary Brady returns to his grandmother's house, to reunite with old friends as he makes an effort to understand what happened, where his grandmother went. Brady holds a hope close to his heart: That he can duplicate whatever magic his grandmother conjured, to follow in her footsteps as his own ghost-tattered life comes to its close. People slipping away into another world is fantasy. It's impossible. I was there. I know what I saw¿
