Publisher's Summary
In these short stories, it's the ordinary things that turn out to be most extraordinary. Two sisters quarrel over an inheritance; a child awake in the night explores her home; a housekeeper caring for an elderly man uncovers secrets from his past. The stories focus in on crucial moments of transition. Small acts have large consequences, and some of them reverberate across decades. The real things that happen to people and the accidents that befall them are every bit as mysterious as their longings and their dreams.

Something for everyone…
Some good, some not so appealing but everyone should find something in the collection to enjoy.

Not Worth A Second Of The Download Time
I have never written a bad review, but this book is not worth a second of the time it took to download, let alone listen to. The story starts off great but ends with absolutely nothing. It's an utter waste of time. It's not even an anti-climax. It's nothing - literally nothing. A nonsensical ending. It's like... and then the shy is blue. Totally irrelevant to the entire story. Don't waste your money, but more importantly, don't waste your time. It give it a 1 star is being overly generous.
