In ten stories, Budge Wilson explores the complex relationships that are the essence of life, as she did superbly - and wide critical acclaim - in
The Living and
The Courtship.
In The Charmer, a handsome but manipulative prodigal son creates a family breakdown. In Cordelia Clark, a new girl moves into town and kindles division and jealousies between friends who must work out their animosities when she suddenly moves away. And in Joanna and the Dark, a young woman witnesses her role model being a less-than-ideal father, and realizes that adults aren't always what they seem, nor do they have all the answers.
