    About this ebook

    Retired engineer Emmett Borden is emotionally drained as he drives away from his home in Mamaroneck, New York. As he heads west toward his childhood roots in Iowa, he just wants to escape from the surroundings that remind him of his beloved wife, who has just died from cancer. But Emmett is about to discover that life is full of surprises.

    After an exhaustive day of driving, Emmett stops at a lodge to spend the night and strikes up a friendship with the lodges owner. Edie Adamson shows him her grandfathers exotic artifact collection that includes a bizarre-looking spittoon made from an elephants right foot. After the two exchange goodbyes, Emmett eventually makes his way to Keonah, Iowa, where he accepts a job as a handyman for Elmer Diehls hardware store. A short time later, while Emmett is making repairs at an antique shop, he stumbles upon the elephants missing left foot and is unexpectedly embroiled in the midst of what appears to be a robbery. Suddenly, Emmetts quiet life becomes one spontaneous adventure after the other.

    In a small town surrounded by corn fields in Iowa, Emmett rediscovers love, friendship, and most importantly, his lifes purpose.

      The night, as most nights, was like a dream. At ten, once I’d fed the dog the last scraps off the stove. Once I’d cursed the cat for scratching up my mama’s antique furniture, then welcomed him back into my arms. Once I’d slicked my hair into a ponyt
