Title: Bargains in the real world
First published: 2001
Description: "In this collection, writer Elizabeth Cox demonstrates talent, grace, and quiet command of the written word. These stories, many set in the South, examine the lives of common people and how they deal with life when uncommon things happen to them, how they accept their fate - sometimes choosing to move on, sometimes not." "The stories range from dark to funny, sad to joyful, as the characters (some naive, some too all-knowing) examine their own lives and the lives around them."--BOOK JACKET.
