About this ebook
On a busy street corner in the searing heat of a Sacramento July afternoon, homeless veteran Gene Garron makes a seemingly simple promise in exchange for a donation beyond his wildest dreams.
But a large sum of money attracts a great deal of attention.
The wrong kind of attention.
Attention that can make even the simplest promise hard to keep.
A short story from Dale Hartley Emery.
