When a Sissy Climbs a Mountain in May

A middle-aged, self-proclaimed sissy teeters on a razor’s edge–hope on one side, despair on the other. No sooner does he come to think that an elderly neighbor may have a special mission for him that the neighbor dies. The only “instruction” the neighbor leaves behind is a wrinkled and badly stained photograph of some lumpy green mountains.

“Redford takes us on a long, lovely hike through rejuvenating mountains on a journey of self-redemption. The trail is one filled with profound views of life, human frailty, and the healing power of nature and music.” James Crocker, Editor of The Font–A Literary Journal for Language Teachers.
