  A Georgia businessman’s attempt to salvage his struggling marriage with a weekend getaway accidentally sends him on a survival adventure. Looking at John Callaway’s life from a distance, some might say that he’s “living the dream.” At the helm of a successful development company built by his father years before, business success follows him, and Atlanta society has been good to his family. But in a flash, ominous skies overtake the calm seas of his charmed world and threaten to capsize his life. Long past are the lazy summer days on the shores of Tybee Island, where everything was once so simple and pure, where he met the love of his life, Molly—the love that now seems to be slipping from his grasp.  John wants that simplicity again, but is he too far gone? Is there a way back? As the uncertainty of his fate unfolds in the wake of a shipwreck, he is forced to explore the deepest desires of his heart while racing against time and nature to save not only his own life—but also his family.

  The Awkward Black Man - Stories

  Bestselling author Walter Mosley has proven himself a master of narrative tension, both with his extraordinary fiction and gripping writing for television. The Awkward Black Man collects seventeen of Mosley's most accomplished short stories to showcase the full range of his remarkable talent.Mosley presents distinct characters as they struggle to move through the world in each of these stories—heroes who are awkward, nerdy, self-defeating, self-involved, and, on the whole, odd. He overturns the stereotypes that corral black male characters and paints a subtle, powerful portrait of each of these unique individuals. In "The Good News Is," a man's insecurity about his weight gives way to a serious illness and the intense loneliness that accompanies it. Deeply vulnerable, he allows himself to be taken advantage of in return for a little human comfort in a raw display of true need. "Pet Fly," previously published in the New Yorker, follows a man working as a mailroom clerk for a big company—a solitary job for which he is overqualified—and the unforeseen repercussions he endures when he attempts to forge a connection beyond the one he has with the fly buzzing around his apartment. And "Almost Alyce" chronicles failed loves, family loss, alcoholism, and a Zen approach to the art of begging that proves surprisingly effective.
