*Previously Dr. Duffy's Close Encounter
Thomas Duffy’s heart is hard, and he likes it that way. After 8 years as a military doctor on a war-torn third world island, he’s learned that caring too much will tear a man apart.
He hasn’t always been that way. The little boy inside him–the one who spun wild fantasies about rescuing beautiful girls from far away planets–still whispers to him from within. He ignores that little boy.
But when something and crashes into the woods behind his Iowa farm, it’s that little boy who compels him to go running out in the dead of night to investigate. And when he finds that same little girl, all grown up and more beautiful than ever, he can no longer doubt the truth. The fantasy of his childhood was real. And the girl who fell from the stars is back.
