Ted Gresham\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge is a masochist. He lives a gin-soaked, deliberately lonely life as owner and keeper of a bait stand oddly distant from the Gulf Coast of Texas. He’s contented with who he is until a kid named Pug pokes his face up against George’s front door and steps right into George’s troubled heart. Iris is the single mother of an odd “almost-twelve year old” not entirely well little boy dealing with the recent loss of her father. Pug draws the aging grump and troubled mother together in an entirely unexpected way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverybody needs a place to go when they’re in pain. When heartache and anger, sorrow and frustration are overwhelming, everyone needs a Hurting Place. Iris had one. Pug had one. And it was there that crusty old George had a cathartic moment that changed him in ways he didn’t really understand. Find The Hurting Place, and find Hope, even in the midst of deepest sorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"H.J.
