What Lies Beneath

NOT the actual pin - I can dream, though.

      The gift to her mother, a pin of considerable worth and beauty, rested inside its original box, on Jean's desk. Complete with enclosure card and engraving, perhaps a wedding token, an anniversary gift, the gift upon the birth of a child, it had dulled over the decades. "All my love, George."

Sold from the daughter's estate, the gift's extraordinary value reduced to the pittance of cash it brought.

The potential for disaster lurks below the surface. It's rarely seen.We, like those keeping watch in the murky night on an icy Atlantic, see only the tip of the iceberg. We rarely know the whole story.

The back story of the George R Gordon family is one that weaves its tragedy through the facts in The House on Harrison Street. Emotion spills like once dammed tears staining a favorite dress front. Anger, depression, and desperation disguised the characters in this family drama making them unrecognizable as their lives spun in disarray.
