Scott Wellinger's compilation of four short stories, The Season For Moths is composed oftangentially interconnected, sequential storylines, set in the years from the end ofProhibition --1933 --to 2016. Each story is deeply rooted in the times in which they take place, transporting the reader through the news, fashion and music, set as the backdrop for each narrative.

She is on a scholastic scholarship and cannot afford any distractions, else she loose her chance to continue onat Harvard as a graduate student. As the autumn leaves change, so too does Christina Bachet. Her future is hers to squander in a time when grunge and anarchy and rage against the system that oppresses the populous is so prevalent.
n this remarkable book's denouement, winter has arrived in Lake Lure, North Carolina, where those in a senior-livingcommunity spend their remaining years. Knowing and caring for these residents is beyond difficult. It must be done at some remove in order not to be lured into a constant state of depression over the frequent and inevitable loss. Old people die. But when Nurse Logan begrudgingly begins to let them into her heart, it is beyond fathom what she discovers.
