Odd Ducks: Stories

By Patricia Lawson

Book Overview

Winner of the Byron Caldwell Smith Award for Kansas Authors

This debut collection of nine humorous stories, set in and around Kansas City from the 1950s to the 2000s, often depicts adults awkwardly mentoring talented young people, whether in a community garden, a library, or in one-on-one advice. Other characters feel like outsiders in their own neighborhoods or suddenly become outsiders when straying into unfamiliar places.
