In this diverse tapestry-of-life short story collection, something ends, something begins. You'll meet a grieving young woman dreading the birth of her child; a family awed by President Truman's wave; a man who believes his printer talks to him; folks besieged by guilt or in relationships nearing a breaking point; a father struggling with his son's suicide; a man who falls in love with a fish; a woman befuddled by technology, and an elderly lady who reaches out to a street kid in her own unique way. You'll also witness the chilling effects of a government gone awry when it suddenly decides to off its elderly population in the interests of economy. In spite of it all, spring comes and life goes on in its tragic, profound, and sometimes funny way.
