    About this ebook

    A collection of short stories, some true, others fiction. Which is which? You may be surprised.

    A boating trip gone bad, an untrained serviceman, of brothers and birds, moments that are remembered, a day in the life, a coming of age much too soon; these are some of the stories told here. Short stories that have meaning, perhaps make you think, chuckle, reflect, identify as someone you know, maybe even see yourself within these characters.

      How Postcards From My Mother Helped Me Survive Childhood

      Mar 3, 2017

      For years, my mother wrote to me every day. I’d been sent away to boarding school and for the first weeks was forbidden to call home­. I was eleven. This was just before mobile phones came beeping and clicking into the lives of everyday people. I di

      “How’s your job at the newspaper?” my father asks me. He is sitting on a couch, a plush throw blanket spread across his legs. “The newspaper’s fine,” I lie. I lie because it is simple. I lie because it is quick. I lie because it is easier than trying

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when
