Gossip is an art. It does not have to be cruel, demeaning or malicious. In fact, it can be fun if used in a kind way. For some people it is the only form of communication that brings pleasure. And while gossip has developed a bad rap, talking and listening is a two-way street. We have as much a need to be heard as to listen. One elderly woman advises her granddaughter that a husband who listens to his wife is worth his weight in tacos. This book contains gossip-based short stories from several authors. As one of them points out, If you have nothing good to say, then "don't say nothing at all." This book is dedicated to people all over America who love to gossip without malice.
