This third collection of short stories by Geraldine M. North examines contemporary life and captures universal aspects of the human experience. As one reviewer attests, "Geraldine North's love for the short story, her belief in the form and what it can reveal to us of life, underlies every word of her marvelous new collection. By seeing her characters so clearly, with such empathy and understanding, she makes each of them matter to us in a heartfelt way only the most accomplished story writers can manage. Read these stories carefully, patiently, trustingly, for they have much to teach us."
