Sore Must Be the Storm: An Inkwells & Anvils Anthology - Paperback

by E. P. Fuselier (Author), Catherine Stewart Broussard (Author), Grace F. Hopkins (Author)

A princess and priest shelter from a rainstorm as they flee from a vengeful king. A mother and daughter take a road trip to see the aurora. The pilot of a spacecraft is immolated by a solar storm. A thunderstorm shipwrecks a father and daughter on their flight from Poland. Sandstorms, wind storms, solar storms, rainstorms, and thunderstorms all threaten the pilgrimages of a myriad of characters in as many different places. And yet, despite the black clouds overhead, a single ray of light breaks through.

This anthology includes eleven tales that tell of harrowing struggles and emotional journeys through storms, but each one has a kernel of hope for the reader to hold onto. As Emily Dickinson wrote, "'Hope' is the thing with feathers...And sore must be the storm that could abash the little Bird." Readers may feel tossed about in the wind and rain like a ship on the ocean. But at every end, in some way or another, there will be safe harbors of Hope. For sore must be the storm.
