Shining Ferry is about John Rosewarne carrying on his father's legacy and working himself to a lonely and barren death. However, he finds a glimmer of hope in the small everyday moments of his life. Excerpt: "The doctor felt his pulse, took the stethoscope and listened, tapped and sounded him, back and chest, then listened again. "Worse?" asked Rosewarne. "It is worse," answered the doctor gravely. "I knew it. One or two in my family have died in the same way. The pains are sharper of late and more frequent." "You keep that little vial handy?" Rosewarne showed where it lay, close at hand in his watch pocket. "How long?" he asked. "A few months, perhaps." The doctor seemed to hesitate."
