A short story: “In Country” by James Ross

You seldom catch the opportunity to read a story that emanates nostalgia and hope at the same time. “In Country” is certainly one of those narratives that do just that. 

      A recently divorced dad and his son who have to leave their neighborhood for something of a "Bandit Country" presumably to forget about the bitter past and start a new life. 
 
      This short story shows clearly that while divorce can be very tough at times, the life could certainly move on even after such ordeals. Depicting the challenges of life after divorce are evened by the calmness of a one-on-one chat between a father and his eight-year-old son. 

 
      Once again, if you would like to taste nostalgia and hope simultaneously give this short story of three pages a try.
