This is a collection of stories about men and women and children who stumble upon crossroads. Their stories are parable, they are allegory, they are realism and short fiction -- and they are stories that will enter into you and make you part of them, so that the mystery and the brightness, the living and the dying, the searching and the praying, the love and the anger and the majesty become your own. It is another morning and another place, a rich and penetrating landscape of the spirit.
Seventeen of these stories have been published over the past ten years in periodicals, the other eight have never been in print before and were written by the author especially for this edition.
