About This Book
In ten stories, Budge Wilson explores the complex relationships that are the essence of life, as she did superbly - and wide critical acclaim - in The Living and The Courtship.
In "The Charmer," a handsome but manipulative prodigal son creates a family breakdown. In "Cordelia Clark," a new girl moves into town and kindles division and jalousies between friends who must work out their animosities when she suddenly moves away. And in "Joanna and the Dark," a young woman witnesses her role model being a less-than-ideal father, and realizes that adults aren't always what they seem, nor do they have all the answers.
