In this collection, happenstance brings out women characters and how they juggle jobs, living issues, and men. The fourteen short stories aren't so much about fortune as about the unprecedented and sometimes humorous hours during which a woman must act on her own. The women are in the adventure of a transitional time. Characters include college graduates in entry level jobs, a language teacher, a puppeteer in a temporary job, a clothing salesclerk, a professor in summer seclusion, and a piccolo player. Six of these stories have been previously published in journals.
