A Love From Away

By Joe Haskins Jr

Gabriel Ragland, a handsome native of Oxford, North Carolina, with a sultry southern drawl and a recent PhD. in philosophy, moves to New England to teach at the University of Maine for a semester. Throughout his time in Maine, Gabriel experiences the majestic beauty and rich culture of northern New England through a carefully crafted southern lens. Regardless of Maine's aesthetic allure, Gabriel's haunted by the blame of a fatal accident that took the life of his most precious loved one. After meeting the confident, beautiful, and affable Human Resources administrator Sandy Allison from neighboring Canada, a wistful love emerges between a southern gentleman and Canadian Maple. Just as happiness seems within reach, Gabriel's past places their future in doubt. Will Gabriel overcome his demons to build a life in a place his southern roots never thought they'd sprout? Will the past shackle Gabriel to a hopeless end, or will love triumph to tether two hearts from away?
