Not short stories - "Chicago Stories" is the series name, not book title.The heroine has great physical and emotional reflexes, the characters are complicated and varied.  If you've ever lived in a neighborhood before gentrification comes you'll enjoy this.  Lots of walking between different social spheres - gangs, artists, realtors, yuppies, nuns, law enforcement, immigrants, "A" List Society -  and we get "inside" pictures of all of them with sympathetic portrayals of almost all.
