Description: Nine short stories with sharply drawn characters and well-focused plots.  The wife of a Congressman faces her husband's mistress.  Three thoroughly dislikeable people die;  was it murder?  A black child discovers that she can influence what happens to her.  A married couple announce the wife's pregnancy to her critical parents.  A young woman leaves a bad home to strive for a better life.  A middle-aged librarian is caught between the Christian Right, the ACLU and the NAAPC.  A pompous husband leaves his wife, who is suprised how much more pleasant her life becomes.  Whether hilarious, poignant, or grimly realistic, each story is beautifully written from a unique perspective.
