Great collection

These short stories written by women are not really about nature or being in "the wild". The stories are about complex women growing in spirit and in friendship. Don't worry if you aren't into sports - the sport is background. I liked the way many of the authors talked about their own personal growth and feelings that resulted from their interaction with other women and the outdoors. I have read other works by Pam Houston, one of the authors, but found this set of stories to be even better because of the variety of experiences and voices. If you liked "Cowboys are my Weakness" or "Walzing the Cat", I think you would really like this book.
