These eleven stories speak to the common experiences we all share -growing up, growing older, getting on with life as best we can, never giving up hope. The characters we meet on a street corner in Manhattan or in an apartment in Queens, are characters we could as easily meet on any given day in our own lives wherever we live. Characters with heart, with longing, with fears, with dreams. The very people we love. The people we recognize when we look in the mirror. At their best, the stories in this volume provide us with an unobstructed view into ourselves.
