Kaleidoscope

By Patricia Gillis

Kaleidoscope is a collection of work from various authors that can be enjoyed in bits and pieces or devoured at once. Like turning a kaleidoscope, no matter what you find, you will be delighted. Just turn the page and you have something new, sometimes light and whimsical, sometimes dark and heartbreaking: * Follow a boy whose life is shattered in the 1920s when he learns a family secret. * Meet a woman straddling two cultures who runs her first marathon at age 50. * Peek into the journal of a 91-year-old widower who braves one of the places he and his late wife loved most. * Discover the strange friendship a teenager makes as he emerges from a vegetative state. * See how one woman interprets the famous six-word short story, "For Sale. Baby Shoes. Never Worn." * Glimpse a gay man's struggles with gender identity and expression in a conservative town. * Learn what an artificial intelligence plans for humanity's future. * Read an excerpt from Mary Beth Smith's upcoming novel about a high-living banker's family during the Depression. * And much more. This collection is a convenient way to try new genres and authors. It's a diverse assortment, comic or devastating, informative or entertaining, but always engaging. It's a kaleidoscope of stories, memoir, essays, and poetry.
