Dilemma And Other Stories

Dilemma and Other Stories, a compelling new voice, features experiences of the elderly. Sad, amusing or wise, themes are revealed in the famous quotations preceding each story. The stories put life in four segments. In the section "An Old Woman Looks Back," a young girl discovers more than she ever wanted to know about a tortured old woman's secret. The section "Half Life" features trials that can plague parents of grown children. In "Work, Lively Departure," a little runaway dog and his master who's strayed, find themselves in the same predicament. "And So it Goes" depicts the elderly coping with old age, as they review their life's journey. Some adventures stress differences between lifestyles, yesteryear and today. Most reflect the philosophy that one never knows what tomorrow will bring. This book depicts the elderly as the authentic individuals they are.
