Book Synopsis
A collection of stories that touches on the mysteries that make up our lives.

Trade Review
Elaine Ford's collection roams the territory between the intellect and the heart. She writes of the human condition with precision, in language that is both grave and conversational. Her characters step out of the real world onto the page, where she develops them quietly, but with compassionate fullness. This writer grips the reader with her keen knowledge of the psyche of individuals - their motives and secrets - and also with the surprising things that happen to them. - Laura Kasischke, judge, Michigan Literary Fiction Awards
