The sixth volume of seven story samplers, Cold Water Shock explores difficult times in our lives, when grief, sorrow, or disappointment seem to rob the world of its vitality, although hope can often be kindled in unexpected places. All of these melancholy explorations are made with one purpose: to surprise, delight and move the reader.

This book contains...

Cold Water Shock: a widow grows closer to her departed husband by experiencing his favourite pastime: wild swimming.

Agata's forest: when an eccentric neighbour dies, a young couple discover she's left behind a rare world of imagination.

The Best Seat in the House: as the world ends, a father provides his quadriplegic son with a final, unforgettable gift.

.and four more tales.

\"Gavin Boyter's fiction brings the reader into another place and time. It is a rare writer who can make a situation far away seem real and relatable and Gavin's story does just this.\" Lisa C. Taylor, WORDPEACE Fiction Editor.
