The Flowers of Autumn

By Stephen J. Pitzen

In 1964 Stumo was far ahead of most cognitively impaired adults. His mother had refused the demands of school and social workers to send her boy to the state institution so Stump, then known as Carl, had grown up exposed to the social skills that kept his behaviors close enough to what was considered normal that he almost fit in. His mother had tried to impress on him that if he couldn't act like everyone else he might be taken away. She didn't know it would take more than that to preserve his freedom. The Flowers of Autumn is the story of Stump, the community he seeks anonymity in, and the forces that confront his efforts to remain invisible.
