In this short story collection you'll meet a quirky woman swept along in a life unplanned and serendipitous, a criminal driven by dark passions pulsing just beyond his understanding, a woman whose jealousy may have triggered another person's death, an unambitious teacher who lives vicariously through others' dreams, a student who steps over the precipice of ultimate self-discovery, a film critic mired in passionless introspection, a wife who finds dignity in a small act of courage, a husband who waits too late to sort out the intricacies of love and lust, a woman who is crossing the threshold into dementia, a painter who finds his muse in the most inexplicable way. Which of them will devise ways to redefine themselves when others think their lives don't matter? Paperback, 6 x 9 in., 103 pages, $9.99 (ISBN: 978-1-957414-05-8).
