Wow! Ms. Brandon's writing captured me and took me for an exciting ride through the 70's and onwards to 2010. One of Ms. Brandon's strengths is her ability to create tone and atmosphere. Each short story had telling details that anchored me in her writing (like Frosted Flakes, Pine Solvent & Lemon Pledge).She zeroes in on characters who don't quite fit in, whether it is the poignant description of the school girl in 'In my Dreams' or the former pageant contestant in 'Sun Salutation'.As well, her endings pack a punch, especially 'Daylight Savings' and 'Indian Springs'.This is a stellar short-story collection presented by a talented author.
