Publisher Marketing: Can You Believe This is a collection of three short stories of suspense. The stories take place in small Southern towns. A Chance To Say Goodbye is about a man, Daniel Lewis who loses his wife and daughter in a car accident shortly before Christmas. He lives in total isolation for two years then experiences a miracle during the Holiday season that changes his life forever. Thanksgiving With Mrs. Miller is about a strange request to an employee named Cindy who works at the local outreach center. The center provides Thanksgiving meals to shut-ins in the community. The reason the request is so strange is that it's from Pendleton's most elusive citizen, Eloise Miller. No one has seen this woman in many years. Cindy becomes obsessed in finding out about the lady who lives in isolation and her curiosity almost gets her killed. Million Dollar Lie is about Ira Lansing who moves from the Northeast to Mountain Rest with his wife, Emma. She passes away less than two years later. Months later, Ira begins a courtship with the town's favorite waitress, Dixie. Enter Ira's grandson, Matthew from Philadelphia, PA.
