New Novel by Eugene H. Strayhorn Jr. Explores Redemption, Faith, and the Unexpected Bonds That Change Lives

Author and retired physician Eugene H. Strayhorn Jr. returns with a stirring and deeply personal new novel, “Conversations With Grandfather.” It is a heartfelt story of redemption, faith, and the power of intergenerational healing.

At the center of “Conversations With Grandfather” is the protagonist Ward Stanford — an ex-convict and lifelong underachiever whose life has been marred by failure, jail time, and homelessness. Just when he begins attempting to rebuild his shattered life, he receives a letter from his estranged daughter, Lauren Reslin, asking him to come to Montana.

Ward learns devastating news that Lauren only has a few months to live. Desperate, she asks Ward to care for her rebellious teenage son, Mathias, and raise him with Christian values. This is despite Ward’s past and disbelief in God.

What follows is a transformative journey for both man and boy. Through difficult conversations, shared vulnerabilities, and a growing mutual respect, the two begin to discover strength, purpose, and unexpected grace.

“This is a story for anyone who has ever believed they were too far gone to be redeemed,” says Strayhorn. “It’s about the quiet, miraculous power of second chances — and how faith can sometimes find us in the most unlikely places.”

With dialogue and authentic emotion, “Conversations With Grandfather” is a novel that speaks to broken families, strained faith, and the possibility of healing across generations.

Eugene H. Strayhorn Jr. practiced internal and emergency medicine for twenty-five years and served as the medical director of a multi-specialty medical group. Since retiring from medicine, Strayhorn has devoted himself to writing and ministry. A lifelong follower of Jesus, he has led a men’s Bible study group for nearly two decades, focusing on practical applications of biblical wisdom. He is also the author of “Echoes of My Son.”

“Conversations With Grandfather” is available Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other book retailers worldwide.
