From Mitch:
“I am offering this new work to readers everywhere. It is my hope that the story will provide a welcome diversion in our suddenly shut-in world. Writing is my art form. It is the least I can give. If you enjoy the story, I encourage those who can to donate to Detroit Beats Covid-19!, a relief effort in my hometown of Detroit, which is being so hard hit by this pandemic. I believe in humanity. I believe we will get through this together. And then we’ll each have our own 'human touch' story to tell.
About "Human Touch"
Set in a small town in Michigan, “Human Touch” follows the lives of four families who share a single street corner. As the strange new virus takes root in America, the once neighborly corner begins to fray, and a tradition of Saturday gatherings unravels. Some pull closer together. Some drift into mistrust and distance. A doctor must make severe choices. A pastor struggles with faith versus law. A Chinese-American couple is suddenly ostracized. And a unique little boy with an inexplicable power become becomes the key to hope and a way out of the crisis. Until he suddenly disappears.
New chapters of "Human Touch" will be published at Mitch's website (or www.humantouchstory.com for easy access) every Friday.
