Official synopsis Publisher
These stories are as different as the women who wrote them. The authors seek to do more than entertain you, or even shock you. They want to make you think about what takes place between the lines, about what happens to the characters after the stories are over. In over twenty tales, the situations run the gamut: a newly-blind man wants to end his forty-three-year marriage; a husband makes his wife and their young nephew go to a church where snake-handling is part of the service; a woman’s fate is in the hands of the doctor who will decide how long she must stay behind the locked doors of a psychiatric ward. The authors themselves have survived many life challenges, both big and small, and have led diverse lives. But, they share a keen interest in people and what makes them relate to each other the way they do. This interest has become the fuel for their story writing.
