Set against the backdrop of a small town and marked by his irreverent curiosity, Danny grapples with the teachings of his devout Presbyterian family. His eleven-year-old mind struggles to reconcile the grand themes of God, morality, and the seemingly arbitrary rules of Sunday school, particularly under the scrutinizing eye of his stern teacher, Mrs. Kendrick. With a mix of humor and youthful rebellion, Danny questions the core tenets of faith—why do bad things happen to good people? Why is God referred to with male pronouns? His journey is punctuated by relatable childhood experiences, from awkward moments in church to awkward interactions with family.

A Farmhouse By The Sea is about a Russian, English as a Second Language teacher, who meets a man from the Vancouver school where they work. He is handsome and sexy, and she’s attracted to him, but knows he is Catholic and will reject her when she tells him she is separated, but not divorced. Katerina finally agrees to meet him at Canon Beach. They walk along, holding hands, and it is very romantic. She says, “Our countries suffer the disease of lust. Your country, like mine, is a beast, craving conquest and domination while claiming the higher moral ground. Both of our countries are sick with lechery.” His blue eyes enter hers. A contagion of desire spun the sands on the Oregon coast, never-ending, floating with the rhythm of seaweed. Terrified of falling in love with this man, she pushed away. She felt like the old farmhouse built on the Susan Cliffs of Oregon’s fractal coast, rugged with a sensual soul, his waves crashing to bring it down, drawing her remains out to sea and home to Russia.
