Important stories

I believe in the old idea of storytelling, that we tell our stories in order to help the next generation understand what it means to be human. Mary Grimm's stories fit perfectly into my idea of storytelling. These stories opened my own life stories within me and made me want to write. They reminded me of what is important to me about growing up female. I recognized life transitions that I had gone through but forgotten. These are important stories.

A rich and moving account about who we are

Stealing Time is a wonderful collection of stories by Mary Grimm. The tales are hopeful yet never sugar-coated. The voice is authentic yet changes from story to story, proving Mary Grimm's skill at creating believable and honest characters who hurt, hunt, and sometimes find answers like the rest of us.

Beautifully crafted, moving group of short stories.

I love these stories! I agree that her novel is a bit slow, but these stories are beautifully written, full of memorable detail and complex emotions. Highly recommended.
