Twist: Short Stories from Life

As a Jewish freshman at the University of Wisconsin at Madison right after WWII, Ed Semon began adult life. He went on to be a businessman, a teacher, a husband and father, the kind of man who was interesting to others and interested in others. This collection is filled with vignettes featuring people who left an impression on him and his own experiences, in total: a life story, a rich tapestry.

"TWIST is a pleasure to read. Each story is a nugget filled with interesting people and most end with a twist, an unexpected insight or surprise, the endless variety of people and their unexpected reactions to what happens to them. Life--I guess we all know--is filled with many twists. If you pick this collection up, you'll enjoy each page." Lyn Cote, award-winning author of over forty novels

The story of Ed's childhood is told in his memoir, Athens, WI, The Place Where Time Stood Still.
