In the title story, Hurricane Blues, meet a Louisiana blues piano player who protects her home-alone son by averting hurricanes with a whiskey shot glass and a mother's love. In The Reader, a dreamy bookworm stumbles into manhood. In Soul Most In Need, the friendship of two southern widows is the one truth at a tent revival. Nahualli presents a sharp-tongued Mexican recluse and her shape-shifting lover. Meet a good-hearted deacon doing reconnaissance on a philandering preacher from a classic car in T-Bird Recon. A cruel medieval father, a frontier lawyer's silent child scrivener, and an aspiring teacher caught in the 1918 influenza epidemic also populate this eclectic collection of previously published and new short fiction. Marcia Calhoun Forecki lives and writes in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Her first book, Speak To Me, from Gallaudet University Press, won a book award from the President's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped in 1986. She published Better Than Magic, a novel for middle grade readers, in 2000.
