40 Days (Oakdale)

3/5 ( ratings)

Photojournalist Duane Key is almost fifty when the first clue gets his attention: a text message refers to his upcoming milestone birthday as 40. Flattery will get you everywhere, he replies. Several days later, as he is being bombarded with the number 35 , he mentions the numerical coincidences to an old friend but finds them more curious than troublesome. That soon changes as Duane, a devoted father but a flawed man, feels a strong need to ask forgiveness of the people he has hurt and even goes to a priest for guidance. He ends his romance with a woman half his age, then attempts to reconcile with his ex-wife and grown daughter when he learns that his ex is near death. The numbers keep coming ... 20, 19, 18 ... and it soon dawns on Duane what really might be at stake: he might not live past the countdown. Which, based on the calendar, ends Easter Sunday. His concern, which swiftly borders on fright, increases each day. Who will take him seriously if he shares his deepest fears? The priest? His wife? His best friend? His girlfriend, who he loves with all his heart? Six-year-old Chad, the son Duane absolutely adores? And what if Duane, after feeling strongly enough to make major revisions in his will, is wrong ... about everything? Taking place in the seemingly serene Mississippi community of Oakdale, 40 Days is a story of redemption, forgiveness, and the ultimate leap of faith for a man who realizes he must do better. If there is time.

Format: Kindle Edition
