“Comfort and Joy”
Milla Zajac is home for the holidays. It’s a surprise for her mother, and a promise of the best apple pie on the planet and plenty of unrationed hot showers. Her winding path home leads her to Tyna, and thoughts of a future that seemed out of reach. (Excerpt below.)
Home from Afghanistan to surprise her mother, Milla doesn’t expect more than the best apple pie in the world and the bliss of unrationed hot showers. She’s not counting on futures — or meeting a woman like Tyna.
The idea and opening scene of Comfort and Joy came from the first hearing of Ed Sheeran’s “The A Team.”
“Care is plainly there and the desire to give instead of just taking pleasure.”
