Stelfox Street: Short Stories

By Margaret Slaven

Walk down a street in a small town of suburban America, and the stories in Stelfox Street could be about any of the people living in the homes you pass. The characters in this book could be your neighbors, coping with the common elements of everyday living. They worry about familiar issues--safety, jobs, their children, the future--as well asstruggling with the life-altering concerns of loneliness, aging, and death. Some of these stories are written with humor, some with irony. But what will be clear to the reader is how much the author cares for her characters, all of whom she treats with empathy and compassion.
