Voices: and other stories

By Gerald Patrick

This powerful collection of stories examines human nature and the human condition. The author places his characters in situations that are a part of normal life yet depart from it. Again and again, we are given an opportunity to witness how an individual creates his or her experience, and how each deals with it. As in a Greek drama, fate often intervenes, yet the object of that fate retains control as to the most appropriate -- sometimes least painful -- course of action. Through moral courage, one realizes a new framework for personal growth.This is a book about self-inquiry, struggle, and acceptance. The underlying stance is one of compassion. The final message is a reaffirmation of the ability of the human spirit to triumph in the face of adversity.
