Cal Powell has spent his whole life as the opening act. People travel miles to hear his father and brother preach. Cal warms the crowd and steps aside. One argument at the dinner table finally pushes him past his breaking point, and he walks out the door with nothing but the clothes on his back, bound for New York City on the next bus out of Meridian. He plans to leave Mississippi and everything in it behind him. He slides into the last empty seat beside Alvin, a man with a battered guitar case between his knees and a long, sad story he cannot seem to stop telling. It is the story of a beautiful singer, a forbidden love, and a grief that never healed. And then there is the dream, the one that woke Alvin in a cold sweat, watching his own lost son and Cal's son yet unborn caught in the middle of something neither of them can fathom. Cal doesn't believe in destiny. He sets no stock in dreams. Maybe he should. “Dream on a Midnight Bus” is the free prequel to The Circle Unbroken, winner of first place in the Romance Writers of America Hearts Through History competition.
