Sobre IBD

The author has written these short stories over a number of years, gleaning ideas from her own life and those of acquaintances. In 'Try Tying Twine,' a dying woman takes a trip into her past by visiting two old friends and an ex-husband as she attempts to weave together the elements of her life. In 'Williams the Great' another woman discovers the answer to a long-standing mystery from her college days. An eminent federal judge in 'Kiss Your Ass Goodbye' in his zeal for truth removes from his closest friend his final hope of survival.
