For example, Margo King Lenson explores the unfulfilled promise of a literary spell in her story "Sexing the Professor," set at Dominican College in Marin County. Then the book takes readers to Peru, where Kimberly A. Edwards tells about an awkward train ride in her story "Redeemed in the Sacred Valley of the Incas." "Awkward" would be a generous feeling for Jeff Parsons, who reveals what it is like to be nearly naked in a hotel lobby. Learn to be wary of sleepwalkers by laughing through his account of a stay at a Pennsylvania Hilton. He writes "Ain't Nothing Gonna Break My Stride." Award-winning writer Frances Kakugawa shares advice for authors in her essay "Junkyard for Writers," which culminates with a beautiful poem that likens poetry to a fragile shopping bag.

In "Legacy," long-time psychologist Linda Menicucci explores the relationships of three sisters and finds love has no boundaries. Matthias Mendezona turns his attention to poetry for this anthology, writing "Music Blends," a surprising encounter with gypsy rhythms that echo Marvin Gaye. Vicki Ward takes readers back to the San Francisco Bay Area where she recounts six-grade memories in "My New White Bucks," a life-defining experience. Tony Marcolongo offers a varsity tale in "The Halls of Radcliffe College," explaining how an 11-year-old became legendary when his older pals fanned out for a panty raid.

Denise Lee Branco, author of horse stories, goes back to the ranch to record the humor and devotion she witnessed in the eyes of an orphaned red heifer in "Princess of Purpose." Novelist Dennis Potter introduces his new character Jake Burns, a 10-year-old who is wise beyond his years and starts out hating his neighbors because they have displaced his "Best Friend." Editor and publisher Terry Burke Maxwell reflects on her San Francisco roots in "Values and Valuables." Set in the rubble of the historic 1906 earthquake, the story exposes the character of grandparents she never knew.
