The Things Your Eyes Have Seen

The short story collection The Things Your Eyes Have Seen is not about women finding salvation or asking for redemption. These women accept and in some cases embrace their inadequacies; and find strength within to love and to let go, to speak and demand they be heard. In the story The Reunion, a married woman ends a twenty-year relationship with her suddenly-widowed lover. In the three-story Mary Magdalene series, a terminally-ill woman travels to the south to seek answers from her estranged grandmother on her true identity. An insignificant article of clothing reinforces a woman's pride in serving her country in The Brown Coat.

These stories speak to all women as they try to find love, self-respect and fulfillment in a world that grows more complicated and demanding. It is not always easy to find the straight path, and few may never find it.
