The Girl from Recoleta and Other Stories of Love

This new collection of ten short stories by Jefferson Flanders addresses love in all its forms.

A country song stirs memories of an Indian Summer love affair. Red Sox baseball becomes the emotional connection between a son and his Alzheimer's-afflicted father. High school sweethearts meet by chance at Penn Central twenty years after their break-up. A psychic reading in San Francisco takes an unexpected turn. Lovers struggle with ghosts from a violent past.

These evocative stories explore memory, desire, passion, and loss; they illuminate not only the stark realities of life, but also delve into the mysteries of the human heart.
