The Wistful Heart

By Marshall Boyd

When Nathaniel Jett loses his mother in a tragic car accident, his life is upended. Still just an adolescent, Nate is placed under the guardianship of his Aunt Mable, who shares her home with her son, Randolf-a surly, alcohol-fueled bully.
Nate and Cousin Randy never quite click. The tension simmers as they grow older, each charting his own path through college. Nate eventually strikes out on his own, while Randy remains at home, clinging to Aunt Mable's apron strings.
But Nate isn't finished with the past. He files a lawsuit against Aunt Mable, seeking the money owed from his mother's death. Mable isn't having it-no sirree. She sees the suit as betrayal.
Then things take a darker turn. Someone decides it's payback time. And Nate? He's blind to what's coming. One question looms: Where is Cousin Randy?
Is Randolf... missing?
