Touching Base

Eva and Aidan, and their fateful choice--the Genesis story of the first sin, retold with a contemporary twist. A rag doll, Charles, who dares to stand up to the dollmaker, and some unexpected results he experiences. The Whitacre family history is told in key moments, as recalled by three-year-old "Glowy" (and 23-year-old Gloria), Gloria's mother, Janet, and the nameless reporter for the local newspaper's society page.

A total of seven very distinct stories explore how we interact, why we choose as we do, and what effects we cause. From legend and fantasy, to everyday newspapers and phone calls, Touching Base is a collection of short stories looking at choices in interpersonal relationships: and the outcomes those choices create.
