Synopsis

Every small town has its secrets.... Kids walk to school unattended, acquaintances wave on the street, and everyone knows his neighbor in Sapling Grove. Or do they? A widower finds a surprising partner. Tobacco goes missing from an old barn. And up behind Amos Clark's place, something nefarious is afoot. With shades of O. Henry mixed with a dash of Wendell Berry, these four surprising short stories will keep you guessing until you turn the last page.
