Featured Work
Ocean of Grace: Short Stories, Poems, and Reflections
Between the Coromandel Coast and Southern California. Between the oldest shores in the world and the newest. Between loss and return. In Ocean of Grace, a literary collection, grace is encountered in memory and daily lifeāin the pull between two distant shores. Faith, longing, and homecoming become literature rather than instruction, approached through fiction, poems, and meditation. Drawing on Catholic and Protestant Reformed theology, and everyday nature, these pieces speak to those navigating displacement and belonging, and to readers interested in the cultural heritage of modern Americans.
A book for the long way home. Ocean of Grace (2nd edition) is published by Infophilia Press.
Source notes accompany most pieces, providing bibliographical detail and scholarly grounding for this literary collection.
