Summary:
"Twenty new authors wrestle with the powers that shape our lives. "Winter Burial" --written by a mortician-- and "Hearts Like Lemons in Fists of Dew" lead the way, luring the reader to poignant characters who experience burying a friend, running away with a circus, and savoring peach pie with Aunt Ida's caramel sauce"--Page 4 of cover.
