Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara Kingsolver has written these five short stories with the same wit and sensitivity that characterize her highly praised and beloved novels Animal Dreams and The Bean Trees. Spreading her characters over a variety of colorful landscapes, she tells stories of hope, momentary joy, and powerful endurance. In every setting, her distinctive voice, at times comic, but often heartrending, rings true as she explores the twin themes of family ties and the life choices one must ultimately make alone.
This collection includes:
- "Homeland"
- "Blueprints"
- "Quality Time"
- "Extinctions"
- "Rose-Johnny"

The most horrid truths are not exposed but discreetly unveiled through children's memories and innocent eyes, laying bare the brutality of all the -isms that smother the beauty of family and farm values in America.
Through these touching and relatable stories we reach an understanding of the ancestry of bigotism and racism that reaches down through the decades, exposing the sad honesty of inherited pain and handed-down hatred. Told by her characters who are immediately recognizeable as our own innocent inner children and sisters in a fight to learn to live a decent life, these stories lay bare the open wounds that will surely heal if air, compassion and forgiveness can be allowed to envelop the perpetrators of hand-me-down cruelty. Kingsolver gives us the tools and space to breathe that hope as we briefly visit these small, silenced real lives.
