About “The October Storm:”
In 1960s South Side Chicago, a troubled war veteran moves into an apartment building and the residents become caught in an emotional whirlwind that threatens to change their lives forever. In the center of the conflict are the building’s landlady, Mrs. Elkins, and her 16-year-old granddaughter, Gloria. “The October Storm” is the final part of a planned trilogy, taking place after “The Last Pair of Earlies,” with the first installation still in the works. All three are set on different floors of the same South Side apartment building.
