Description
"Ruth Ozeki turns her singular gaze to the short story, exploring childhood ambition, youthful desire, midlife reinvention, and the unsparing clarity of old age. With her distinctive blend of wit, warmth, and deep humanity, she brings us twelve richly imagined stories of characters standing at life's thresholds-grappling with faded ideals, evolving identities, and the inevitable compromises that shape a life"-- Provided by publisher.
