Description

The first story collection from the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Memory Keeper's Daughter

With The Memory Keeper's Daughter, Kim Edwards touched hearts across the nation. In this, her first collection of stories-now with three new stories added-she explores the lives of those who exist on the fringes of society: a fire-eater, an American and his Korean war bride, Madame Curie's maid, and others. Though their tales vary dramatically, each comes up against the barriers of place and circumstance in the most universal of experiences: the quest to discover and understand the elusive mysteries of love. Transporting readers to exotic locations, this beautiful collection reinforces Edwards's presence as an extraordinarily gifted writer.

    These stories are beyond phenomenal . While you are reading, you are unaware of anything else going on around you. They envelope the reader. I could have read hundreds of these unexpected gems.

    This is the first book of short stories that I found difficult to put down. Each story wraps it's arms around you and pulls you in until you become part of it. I've never found myself so engaged so quickly. Kim Edwards has easily become my favorite writer. Thank you Kim.
