Summation - Paperback

by George Byron Wright (Author)

Portland, Oregon. March, 1952.

Michael Sanborn's estranged father has died from cancer as predicted. Six months earlier he had reluctantly agreed to bring Randolph Sanborn's body home from Florida to Oregon. The proviso being that Michael must travel with the funeral coach and along the way deliver seven letters to persons with unique histories in his father's life. Through each letter, Randolph posthumously bestows condemnation on one hand or seeks feigned forgiveness on the other.

For Michael and the funeral coach driver, one Jonalynn Gates, it is a cross-country odyssey fraught with: anger, pain, empathy, revenge and a son's transformation. The unmasking of the father's life creates an unpredictable journey.

It is the summation of a life.
