I received this book from Library Thing to read and review. This is a collection of five stories, each one of which is quite good. They depict people a reader can easily relate to or who may even resemble parts of anyone's life. After reading the first story, I only found that they got better as they went along.  The situations are well presented, and though there is little dialogue, the main characters manage to convey all that is necessary for the plot to be developed and end well.  Short stories are possibly harder to write than novels because there is such a short space and time to introduce the characters, setting and plot/storyline, develop the plot and bring it all to a successful conclusion that will be satisfying to the reader. This author has managed to succeed in doing all that, plus keep the reader remembering and wondering long after the story is over about the relationships the characters experienced and how they might have turned out for the reader or someone else.
