Short stories of southern fiction. Some contain tales of adult or child abuse, others are about lasting love. Relationships come in all forms, from that beginning in childhood to much later in life, whether it be romantic love or serious friendships. In this set of stories, you will find many kinds of relationships. Just as people are alike this country over, they come in all flavors. Philly Cheese Steak in the North becomes barbecue in the South, youse becomes y'all. Wherever you're from, these stories will resonate. They're friends, neighbors, people talked about in whispers, maybe. To paraphrase, happy people are the same everywhere, unhappy folks are unhappy in their own ways. Meet Andrew and Gladys, and Jim and Audrey who are happy in their ways. Meet Lucy who is unhappy in her own unique way, and Jeanne who makes her own happiness. Another set of short stories coming out soon. Maybe a novel before that.
