Seeking solace in his past, he begins to write a nostalgic account of his youth, and the miraculous events of his thirteenth year. Traveling back in time, we are introduced to Chad Bradley, who lives with his parents and two younger sisters on the poorer side of town. Chad harbors great dreams of future popularity; dreams which are to be severely tested when he befriends Jesse Thomas, a lonely boy, who with his mother and handicapped sister, are desperately trying to make it on their own. An unlikely friendship develops between the two boys; a friendship which eventually leads to a touching relationship between their respective families, who help each other with 'unselfish abandon.' Then unforeseen tragedy strikes Chad's family, paralyzing them all with grief and disillusionment, and just when all hope seems lost, a 'special magic' is unleashed, as help comes from a most unexpected source. A story of love, sacrifice and the endearing innocence of childhood; 'Small Cries in the Night' speaks to each one of us, and challenges even the most hardened of individuals, to stop, look back, and remember. If there were but one sentence to describe the basic nature and personality of debut author Carl Linder, it would have to be that of: 'a humble man, who is not afraid to dream big dreams.' A native of Western North Carolina, Linder holds a Bachelor's Degree, and taught school for a time; until he quite literally stumbled on his true calling, with pen and page. A devoted husband and father, Linder writes from his own lifetime of experiences, and gleans unbelievable inspiration from his devoted wife and his 'three little gifts from God. |
