Synopsis:

Nineteen fictional short stories written over five decades by Anne Gordon Perry, dealing with the theme of the relationship of art and life, with illustrations by various artists and photographers. Eleven stories written in collaboration with other writers are also included. An intriguing, eclectic collection of diverse stories that will delight and inspire.

“The heroines in Anne Gordon Perry’s insightful and wry collection of stories tangle (and tango!) with what it means to be an artist and female from childhood through middle age. They bravely heed the inner call to create while hoping to be understood by parents, friends and romantic partners, encountering bewilderment, breakthroughs, and beauty along the way. The initially obtuse husbands, boyfriends and lifeguards of these heroines undergo small enlightenments of their own, often by osmosis. Perry’s delightful canine characters bristle with a similar excitement and tension, since the call of the wild shares much in common with the call to create.” —Dr. Dannah Edwards, author
