My Friend The Scarecrow

When Mason leaves a successful journalism career in New York to care for his aging parents in Nebraska, a heartbreaking diagnosis turns his reinvented life upside down. As dementia changes Mason's world, he finds an unlikely companion in Ray, a lifeless scarecrow in the cornfield. After a tornado tears across the Nebraska prairie and leaves grief in its path, what emerges from the rubble is nothing short of a miracle. The project shows how deeply personal subject matter can be shaped into a market-ready novel with emotional clarity, professional formatting, and a compelling reader promise.
