Suddenly, between people, there is a moment when their relationship shifts - dramatically or imperceptibly. It matters not which; Heather Ross Miller conveys with delicacy and artistry the texture of unfathomed feelings that people have for one another and why they change. "The situation of children interests me," says Miller. "I do not always sympathize with them, but I think their positions in life (down under and always looking up) give them excellent views on adults who control life." Miller also illuminates the psychological bonds that hold adults together - wife to husband, brother to sister, and even an old woman to her furnace that "tells her things." Characters range from war refugees, emigrated to America, to frontier settlers, but always they come alive through the triumph of Miller's prose. Her reputation as a master of words is enhanced by this collection of eleven short stories.
