Who is the Gray Heron? To Leroy Overstreet, he is an old friend. Throughout his life, Leroy has always craved a life of adventure. He has a constant need for movement, and during periods of stagnation, he struggles against the depression that inevitably seeps in. As he approaches retirement, Leroy resolves himself to settling down to a quieter way of life while helping his niece raise her two children, Lela and Rye. What he is not prepared for, however, is how the adventures in their young lives will affect his own. The waters of life move quickly, children become adults, and memories linger to cause aches for what once was. All the while, the Gray Heron is never far away, always returning to the creek behind Leroy's house. The bird is a constant and comforting presence for him as he struggles through cycles of despair and hope, and it acts as a reminder that there's a spirit guide in all of us.

Industry Reviews

"Gray Heron" by John Wilde is a very interesting and entertaining book. The words, and in particular the usage of timely words, are used brilliantly to bring the story to life. This is vital for a novel. I really felt while reading that I was the character! I laugh, cried, yes cried, experienced bouts of anger and disgust; every emotion that makes a good story.

It's obvious that much research on material content and syntax were well thought out. The story appears genuine. And that visit from that gray heron is brilliantly added as an additional character, confirming Leroy Overstreet's spiritual journey. "Gray Heron" by John Wilde is well-written book that would be well received by anyone breathing, especially to those of us that desire to be better parents, grandparents, grandparents, and human beings...5 stars easily!
