All of the stories in The Gandy Dancer are touching andsurprising, O’Henry twists to Jack London yarns. This delightfulcollection, full of beautiful imagery of land and skies and people, arestories of the USA told by an American girl, raised coast to coast, andnorth to south, who took off on her own at 17 to see what’s up. There’spersistent virtue to each adventure, triumph over adversity, as theyreach heart and soul for a rare look at the lives of strangers and thepaths they picked up for themselves. The classic independent spirit ofthe American adventurer is captured in each original tale, and theeverlasting joy of charting new territory.
