Poor Harry: Safe in All Things Series, Book VI

L. M. Steen

After Lil is attack by Arnold Pittsman in the cabin on Thanksgiving weekend, Russell quickly replaces everything in the cabin that Arnie touched. Nothing was to be left of memory. Nothing. Of course, memory has a way of retaining the more fearful things, but Lil has a unique solution for the problem. Russell. After Batsy's marriage to Andy and the arrangements for allowing the new couple to live in the cabin for tree-day weekends, life tries to return to normal. However, nothing is ever normal with Lil, either through illness or her natural Klutz in life. This time, her health declines while she plans a wedding for Harry, who grew up with Batsy in Libby under Russell's protection and guidance. And, someone Lil knows as having been her nurse at St. Johns Lutheran Medical Center in the town. Harry's intended, Mandy Howard, has been someone Lil learned to know through Church association and the fact that Mandy had also come from an abusive marriage. One of physical abuse instead of emotional abuse. To accomplish the wedding goal, however, Lil must figure out a way to fool the dead fly in the sink upstairs and successfully lie. Or fib, depending on one's point of view. With Russell's help, the wedding becomes a reality. More accurately, a larger than life reality that almost destroys Christmas. The cause something other than Russell's amorous attacks and artful kissing. His easy Peck, his firm Rembrandt, the rough textures of his Van Gogh, the totally electrifying effects of his Renoir for rain kissing, his Monet for the shower that removes her ability to remember why she was in the shower, and, finally, his Picasso that calls the world to repentance, remain deadly to her metaphysical structure but were not the cause of the destruction. Lillian's Law of Probabilities was. That, and so much hysterical laughter that the cabin would never be the same. Then Lil gives her daughter-in-law, Sarah, and Miles the gift of the eternities.

About the Author

"I just spent a few minutes perusing Ms. Steen's latest photos. Now I know why her prose is so crisp and lively--she sees everything about her with the same beautiful, optimistic lens." Roberta J. Molyneux, Professor of English, Lamar College, Colorado. Unexpectedly divorced after 43 years, Ms. Steen entered the world of the transient. Her faith in her Lord was her constant companion while moving from bedroom to bedroom, State to State, with her laptop, five suitcases, and a printer. Disabled by disease, recapturing her many years as a performer, composer, and teacher on the piano was impossible. However, instead of giving up during her twenty months of dependency on the graces of strangers and family, this remarkable woman was armed with three lethal weapons: her laptop, her imagination, and her sense of humor. Now terminally ill, Ms. Steen's engaging humor has touched the lives of those who opened their doors to her, the medical personnel who remain in her life, and those around the world who visit her web site mountainqueenpublishing.com to enjoy her photography and short stories.
