From award-winning author Chris Cander comes a wrenching and suspenseful short story about grief.

County Sheriff Brody Hayes is in the midst of a missing person's call - for a five-month-old baby. Deep in the mountains of his hometown, Bowie, Wyoming, Brody's desperate search for the helpless child through a worsening snowstorm leads him on an even greater journey - one through his memories of his childhood, his brother, his son, and a life for himself that he thought was lost.

Gripping, atmospheric, and utterly memorable, Grieving Conversations will at once cause your heart to pound and break.

“Cander is a smart, deft storyteller.” (The New York Times Book Review)

“Cander has a gift for description.” (Houstonia Magazine)

CW: Drug Addiction, Harm/ Missing Baby

I wanted to like this more than I do, especially after how much another story by the author, Eddies, truly did a number on me. But there was the instantly alienating aspect of the protagonist being a 'good' cop... which, I don't want to read anything trying humanise the police. The only thing that could humanise a cop is them no longer being a cop. ACAB. Period.

Besides the hero cop protagonist, the story felt a little too melodramatic and misery porn in a way I never felt about Eddies. There's a lot of information and timelines and events and emotions and they are all so very big and important and awful or wonderful or awful. Honestly, it reads like a spec script for a police procedural pilot.

The writing quality is high and there is emotion there for sure, and the performance is pretty great. It just didn't come together effectively for me personally. I know my own predispositions played a part, but I don't think my overwhelm/ underwhelm response can be entirely blamed on that. Still want to read more of the author, but will go on forewarned and try to avoid anything that focuses on cops.
