When a writer draws on their own experience in their stories, readers inevitably compare the story to their own life experiences. I believe Headstall, with this life story, wanted to offer food for thought to all his readers. In the struggle to understand and forgive, the two protagonists Chase and Hank lead us to explore life's hardest journeys: loss, hatred, fear, abandonment. But in the darkness of the deepest depression, Headstall shows us that courage, forgiveness, and understanding lie in the strength of true feelings. The power of rebirth lies in recognizing love when and where it exists. Reading "Endings" is good for the heart; it teaches us to forgive ourselves and those who love us. Don't miss it! Thanks again, Headstall.
