"Turn down the Heat" is a collection of 5 beautiful short stories by Wendy Steele. I came across the author earlier this year when I read "Wendy Woo's Year", a rather inspirational selection of daily snippets of wisdom.In the stories of "Turn down the Heat" the author shows the same warmth, empathy, insight and life affirming, positive attitude that made "Wendy Woo's Year" so palatable, showing a gentle, kind, wise and experienced writer.The themes: Finding love or a friend when we need one, the pleasure in simple things like your own children, the being grateful for what we have, Wendy Steele reminds of in wonderful prose and simple ways of such basic yet important moments and lessons by letting her characters experience them.Very beautiful indeed.
