Blue Bucket
"Somewhere there's a letter that explains everything, a letter that was undeliverable..." The true tale of a lost wagon train in 1845 entwined with the stark story of two "second-oldest and certainly best friends." Do you really know anyone? The narrator's "dangling matters" only added to Matthew's issues, forcing an overdue visit and shocking revelations. Of a fabled gold mine, an awful childhood incident, a small city on a river few can spell, and the search for the greatest of gifts. Hope. Some peoples' only currency is money. Blue Bucket has been called "disturbing" and "utterly original." Like America, "...stampeded, somehow settled, salted. Now may we retreat inland again --- Ocean ever near and Earth, in memory at least, unending."
