Within the short stories of this powerful anthology, author Jeffrey Dean Doty explores the beautiful and tragic moments that flow through lives of ordinary people. The result is anything but ordinary. "What I love most about a Jeffery Dean Doty story is the way he brings you to the point of feeling his emotions within the words, but then draws back and allows the reader to make their own conclusions. Doty has a wonderful mastery of the short story, humble yet concise." - Nance Bulow-Morgan, author of Legend Destiny. "Doty masterfully uses lean dialogue to develop character and plot." - James E. Byrne, author of A Sailor's Letter from Tokyo Bay, August 31, 1945. "Whether a reader is seeking relaxation or involved in a study of other writers' techniques, these quiet stories by author Jeffrey Dean Doty offer the pleasures of simplicity, human warmth and old-fashioned sweetness in the face of loss and sorrow." - Elle Thornton, author of The Girl Who Swam to Atlantis.
