Getting a Life Dolores Greenberg

These stories are as different asthe women who wrote them.¿ The authorsseek to do more than entertain you, or even shock you.¿ They want to make you think about what takesplace between the lines, about what happens to the characters after the storiesare over. In over twenty tales, thesituations run the gamut: a newly-blind man wants to end his forty-three-yearmarriage; a husband makes his wife and their young nephew go to a church wheresnake-handling is part of the service; a woman's fate is in the hands of thedoctor who will decide how long she must stay behind the locked doors of apsychiatric ward. The authors themselves havesurvived many life challenges, both big and small, and have led diverse lives.¿ But, they share a keen interest in people andwhat makes them relate to each other the way they do.¿ This interest has become the fuel for theirstory writing.
