These stories are about love in different ways.  Among them is the story of the love for a lost one, the forbidden love between two married people, the love of a daughter for her deceased mother, the love of a grandmother for her grandson, and the blossoming love between two people who meet on the beach during a near mishap. They are definitely not your normal love stories, where boy meets girl, they date and ultimately either end up together or go their separate ways. Daniel Kelly has given each of these stories a refreshing perspective, which will last with me way after I have moved on to new books and stories. Each story is expertly crafted to awaken new meaning within the reader, to bring out ideas we may all know about but never really think about. As usual, his style brings out the very best of his characters and plots. Writing short stories is not always that easy, but Daniel Kelley has managed to bring it to a new height.  I recommend this collection for everyone who enjoys reading about love in its many different forms, for someone who is looking for a refreshing new look at a sometimes hackneyed themes in books and stories, for someone who is ready to read some great writing and story development. I received this from Library Thing to read and review.
