Heart Failure

Steve's only fifteen when his favorite lead singer dies. That loss makes him fear another.

Older brother Tom is in the army, deployed to a war zone an ocean away. In sixty days, Tom's due home, but will he make it alive? And how can a kid brother help a soldier stay safe?

The only tool Steve has is the music they both love. This short story remembers the death of the Doors' Jim Morrison in 1971.

A Macavity Award finalist acclaimed for "sharp storytelling" (Publishers Weekly), Diana Deverell captures the aching fear for a loved one fighting on foreign soil.
