Summary
Tom is a commercial fisherman in Nova Scotia, and his life is defined by the change of the seasons, the easy company of his best friend, and the sea salt that coats him like a second skin. He's never had any reason to believe in folk tales, and it would take something huge to change that.
Pete, for all his diminutive stature, might be that something.

Summary
So it went, as summer ripened in full and began to give way to fall, or the closest thing the bayou could offer. Eugene’s eyes were faraway in church, farther still whenever a well-meaning friend showed up at the door to ask him how he’d liked Europe, how glad he was to be back. He flinched when a neighbor fired off a shot at a duck or a gator and woke up in harsh, grating sobs that Maud could hear through the wall in the night, that she thought might break her heart in two.
And then, one day, he stepped through the door at dinner time, and he wasn’t alone.
——
Or, Eugene’s mother tries to reacquaint herself with her son and anything that could help him heal—which might just include Babe Heffron.

Summary
Suddenly, and as clearly as if he read it in the histories in the Benning library, Ron envisions this strong, sad-faced man bleeding into grey French earth, and then gathered up, dead, by the enemy, bound for a mass grave. He wants to seize the sergeant’s hand and drag him away from Herbert Sobel’s company, make him impossible promises, swear on God that although he may die he will never be led foolishly and his life will not go to waste. Ron stands very still. He is a stranger to himself. He can’t remember ever wanting anything so much, except death.

Summary
The letter is almost unreadable, by the time Babe turns off of the interstate and into Baton Rouge. He ghosts a featherlight fingertip over the writing even now, long after the lead has been wiped away. He still remembers the word that had been there, feels it against his skin like he's a blind man reading braille. Cancer, it reads. Somewhere further down, another groove will spell out, low on time, first, then, nothing they can do. It's so cliche it makes Babe want to throw up.
----
Or, the one in which Gene and Babe survive the war, go back to their homes, and try to lead their own separate lives--until Gene gets sick, Babe gets a letter, and it all comes crashing down.
