In writing Tears in the Clover, a trilogy, Greg J. Grotius had honed his writing skills to a different level of imagination. He had also focused on true-life experiences, although the differences in each story are vast. Goodbye and Hello depicts the days and months in the life of a young woman who strives to make her life work in the best way possible despite the troubles that she encounters with her job and family life. Long Ago in Winter is based on an actual event in history but takes on a supernatural persona in a most unusual way, and finally, The Catalysts captures the troublesome teen years of a boy whose tribulations bring him to a precipice of self-realization. In explaining the books premise, be sure and get ready for a roller-coaster ride into the intense lives of people in very different walks of life.
