About the Book

This collection is a spectacular array of stories that run the gamut of the human condition, and beyond. Shiver with Frank when he meets a bear in his wife's bedroom, watch the subtle skirmish for power between a callow college freshman and his English teacher, cruise aboard the Raunchy Lady while Lonny behaves like an old fool with Rita, and take a harrowing ride to Indiantown in the back of a rattletrap truck driven by a belligerent drunk. You'll root for Floyd Little to triumph over his jackass boss, rejoice when Rose finally gets her wish to go home, laugh at the antics of two rotund sisters who stumble into a very embarrassing situation, and commiserate with the plight and angst of a hapless househusband. You'll cheer Wanda's spunk, loathe Curt Maddox's arrogance and Lila Mae's sniveling, then love Lester Nye and Anna, and you'll weep with Shannon, Max, James and Laura, but you won't soon forget these stories that deftly probe themes of loss, courage, betrayal, humor, death, love and friendship-these stories have it all. Betty Vickers has the voice and heart of a classic storyteller. The profound honesty with which she creates raw but endearing characters is both engaging and refreshing. Betty combines poignancy, humor, and heartbreak with the hands of a master, making each of her richly woven tales one to savor. -Julie F. Hunter, Editor, Elite Publishing Company This collection is packed with stories crafted by a highly gifted writer. Betty Vickers takes readers into delightful and intriguing worlds filled with tears, laughter, despair and joy. Her stories, all of them, are a pleasure to read and will haunt you long after the reading. -Marlie Warren, Competition Chair, Heritage Writers Guild Betty Vickers rewards her readers with believable characters caught in the act of grappling with life at its best and worst. Her writing threads together tales full of wit, grit and grace-a fine gift for those who simply enjoy a good read. -Michelle Bridges, Editor, St. George Magazine
