Three From Bradford
by Wes Boyd ©2011, ©2013
This collection contains the novellas Dodging Mom, Peeking Over the Fence and With a Little Help all for one
low price.
Dodging Mom: Racially exotic Sonja Lambert holds dual citizenship, American and Israeli. Her mother Zivah, an
Israeli Army officer, expects Sonja to do her duty in the Israeli army. When Sonja's mother shows up with the
intention of browbeating her daughter into doing her duty as an Israeli, Sonja, an American at heart, has no
choice but to run and hide with her boyfriend Scott Tyler's family in Bradford. It's not be best circumstances
for a romance, but when things get moving quickly and Scott's friends from the Bradford High School Class of
1988 get involved, things can take some unexpected turns!
Peeking over the Fence: At Scott Tyler's tenth class reunion, he and his wife Sonja didn't expect the class of
the small rural high school to be very surprising. Anticipating that they would be one of the more exotic
couples there, they found the Bradford Class of 1988 had produced a millionaire prostitute with a PhD piloting
her own Learjet, and another, a musician with a business card that read, "Wandering Medieval Minstrel." Most
surprising was a beautiful, personable blonde woman, Dr. Eve McClellan -- previously named Denis, one of the
most disliked boys in the class. Scott and some of his classmates started thinking about the differences
between men and women, and the upcoming Halloween party is a perfectly good excuse to explore a little of what
it's like on the other side of the gender fence.
With A Little Help: Pat McDonald didn't have the happiest time as a student in the Bradford High School Class
of 1988, but he's found a home in the army. He's headed for the Gulf War in late 1990 when he meets a
classmate, Cindy Yeager, who has broken up with her former boyfriend, Russ Bradstreet. Cindy thinks Pat ought
to have someone to tell him goodbye and worry about him while he's gone. It turns into a one-night stand with
long and profound results lasting for many years, even though Cindy winds up going back to Russ. Many years
later Cindy and Russ ask Pat to help them out at time of intense personal sorrow, and he agrees. They all turn
into each other's best friends -- and eventually, more than that.
