First Person Imperfect: Stories Edited by Paul Mccomas

First Person ImperfectTo read these 19 stories is to become the confidant of 19 very different, very real people. Whether tagging along with one of the nine children who open their lives and hearts to you or accompanying one of the 10 adults struggling to let go or hang on or strike out in a new direction, you will find yourself quickly caught up in these characters' lives. If you crave deep connection with quirky, disarmingly genuine people, then you'll enjoy an in-person look at First Person Imperfect."Original, emotional stories that pulse with angst and aspiration."-William Hart, novelist, author of Never Fade Away"These are stories where everyone wears their human-ness on their sleeve. Which is my favorite kind.
