The Loftiest Thing

The Loftiest Thing, a collection of short fiction, examines the complexities that often come with choices and relationships. In these stories, ordinary people find themselves at the intriguing crossroads that often manifest themselves within the human experience. Which way will they go? What will they choose? Will each learn that love, the loftiest thing, is the center and the point of it all?

S.O. Davis began her journey as a writer at the tender age of eight when, after professing her endless adoration of books to her beloved fourth grade teacher, Mrs. C told her that anything she imagined was possible through words and books. (If only Mrs. C had inspired her to feel equally passionate about Math.)

Alas, this African-born, American-raised woman is a writer through and through. Telling stories remains the most fascinating thing she's ever done and could be doing.

Ms. Davis is also the author of "Your Elephant, After All", a collection of poetry; "The Loftiest Thing," a collection of short fiction; and "Raincoat for your Senses," a collection of short fiction and poetry. She's going to finish that novel one of these days.
