Anna and Other Stories

By Richard A. DeVore

In this collection of poignant short stories, Richard DeVore leads readers down a path of loss, growth, and ultimately healing. Deeply personal and unflinchingly honest, he explores how the effects of childhood and adult trauma help shape who we become.
Anna and Other Stories shares tales that reflect on a life in medicine, the experiences of youth, and a life-long coming-of-age journey.
