The Old Lady Who Wrote Stories For Her Son is a book of clever and intriguing flash fiction and short stories about connections-between words, ideas, and people. When a young man named Jake finds two boxes of envelopes in an otherwise empty apartment that he is cleaning out in an assisted living complex, his life is forever impacted. Some of the envelopes in the boxes contain a series of random words, and the other envelopes hold stories created from them. With a little digging, Jake learns that the series of words were sent to the sick, elderly, and now deceased former resident of the apartment from her disabled adult son, who was unable to visit her. Hoping to keep his mother's mind active, he challenged her to knit the words into stories that she could share back with him. Some of these stories are about people reaching across space, generations, and even from beyond the grave to change others' lives. Sometimes these changes are good; other times they are deadly. Some of the stories are about losing people; others are about finding them. But most importantly, as a collection, the stories move Jake to make his own connections.
