Be Careful What You Wish For

Here is a collection of nineteen stories flowing through time. In it you will find a vivid memoir of life in South Carolina in the 1950s followed by a meditation on babies who look like pearls. You will sense in one of these pieces that people you almost know are to die in the electric chair. In reading 'My Botox Adventure' you may laugh out loud, and in another story you'll imagine yourself in utero, or you will gate crash a funeral. Could you identify with the heir to a pre-Civil War plantation? In these tales you might own a slave, be a slave, or find a snake in your hot tub. You may have a boyfriend who buys you a gun for your birthday (but can he afford it?) This anthology includes the prize-winning story 'In the Garden of Earthly Delights' - and I can only hope the ghost of Hieronymus Bosch will forgive me for pinching his title, and for creating a pig as my hero.
