The Resurrection of Leo and other stories

Life is often about getting from one place to another, from moving on from one state of being to a different one. Sometimes the changes are internal, sometimes forced up on us. In these ten stories characters share fears, love, loss, loneliness, but strive to reach some understanding. These stories introduce Leo Gauvin, who says, "I am 55 years old. it is good to know so much about oneself" and Stephen Gardner, who delves into what the death of his father means. There is Jenny, who invites an old lover into her life, only to send him away. Then there are the unnamed lovers in three short pieces who for moment block out the world and rejoice in their love. Sometimes the striving produces joy; sometimes unsettling conclusions.
