Fabulous and Inspiring

TRANSGRESSIONS is the best set of short stories I've ever read. The stories are moving and tender, and told with grace and insight. They also address a topic that many novelists leave by the wayside, namely how older people deal with love and relationships. Still, the stories appeal and give hope not only to an older audience but also to the young, as we can't help but wonder if our passions will become as wrinkled as our faces in that far-off day when we grow old. I loved these stories so much that I bought the collection for my mother and grandmother for Christmas. They're amazing--read them for yourself!
