Greenwood Line of Products

Greenwood is a book that transcends geographical boundaries, despite being set in the South. The relatable, entertaining, good-hearted, and sometimes quirky characters are driven by the same predictable flaws and predilections that all human beings share. This is why the characters often make confusing and baffling choices in their lives. For instance, why did Merle Flack decide to transport an active beehive in his car in the story "Sara Jean's Bees" when he had a crippling fear of bees? And why did Robert Lee Johnson choose to hike the Appalachian Trail in the story "A Game of Chess" when he despised camping?

The common thread in these stories is a sense of belonging and connection to a place. In the signature story "Greenwood," Hamilton Green reflects on feeling both grateful and melancholic upon returning home after years away. He regrets leaving behind the warmth of his family and community, yet finds solace in the sweetness and meaningful connections he discovers by reconnecting with his roots.

Perhaps every reader should approach this book not just as a collection of interconnected short stories, but as an invitation to return home after a long absence, much like the characters in the tales.
