After the war, he'd immigrated to Canada and in the city on business, the two quickly fall in love. Before she knows what's happening, she follows a man she never expected to meet north for a new life.

Book two of trilogy: The Life and Times of Daniel Ulysses Barrow (the meta-crisis Doctor) Daniel Ulysses Barrow is a man with a mysterious past.

He is stranded on a planet, not his own, through circumstances beyond anyone's imagination, and condemned to travel the slow path amongst humans, instead of the stars. Slowly he finds a love of his own, builds a life, and a home, but who will be there to hold his hand when the slow path takes a twist no one could foresee?

A short story written long ago by a remarkable woman -- my aunt: Ursula Evans Fortner. A mountain woman struggles against unbelievable odds to be the simplest of things -- a mother.

This story is published in its original form on other venues under the pen name ceeare. That is mine as well.
