Synopsis

Profoundly emotional, conceptually acute, yet grounded in the grit and bravery of daily life, these 22 carefully crafted tales probe life's crisis moments and its ordinary hours. Among the stories: an encounter on a mountain trail wakens a veteran's numbed emotions; two French Resistance fighters balance desperate action and shy new love; a 1960s peace activist finds personal and political identity; to protect her baby, a single mother must fight her own terrors; a dying woman seeks a final shred of meaning; a "detained" immigrant child can no longer recall normal life; in 2460, an elegant alien and a human woman too briefly find love; Davey and Danly had, until now, outwitted each pandemic.
