Country of Unknown Origin: Stories

By Myla Stauber

This collection of stories by independent author Myla Stauber reaches into the beating heart of what it is to be human, flawed, defined by difficulty and ultimately reformed in pain, indifference, and sometimes love. Stories include "Country of Unknown Origin," a legacy of the Vietnam war's impact on its modern day inhabitants; "Cake," the tale of a birthday party gone awry; "Nights of Arabia," which chronicles brutal loss and a subsequent wild goose chase through 1976 New York City; From the Ashes," a drunk driving accident that leaves both devastation and hope in its wake; "King of Chase," a powerful first crush featured against the backdrop of a drive-in in upstate New York; and "Pure Luck," in which a lucky lottery winner never gets to cash in. Other titles by this author include "Billy's First Ride," also available on Amazon.
