Here Stories

In these fourteen stories of growing up, hanging on, and getting old, Elizabeth Inness-Brown maps a territory of loneliness and love. Here is the sanctuary of the solitary mind, the land to which the unwanted exile themselves, the place to which we all retreat when life becomes too hot to touch. With wit, affection, and finesse, this collection shows us the dark side of our moon, the unfamiliar side that we nonetheless recognize as soon as we see it. Under the sensual and sometimes fanciful surface of these fourteen stories lurks a dark reality: what any of us will do, desperate for love. But within the reality gleams a kind of measured transcendence, the kind of reclaimed innocence and balance that come only from accepting things as they truly are.Inness-Brown, Elizabeth is the author of 'Here Stories' with ISBN 9780807118481 and ISBN 0807118486.
