Synopsis

These nine stories look at the bonds that occur when circumstances, bloodlines and social situations toss us together.

• What happens when a baby is thrown over a cliff to be rescued by a lonely bachelor?
• What does a farm girl running away from her overbearing family find when she meets a friendly, but scarred stranger on the bus?
• How can a scraggly lost dog show a man what to do about losing his job and his girlfriend?

From the pets we adopt to the people who become our lovers and friends, this book, which was created by relatives from the Swope family, explores connections.
