As a common theme of the twenty-five short stories of "Small
Steps," lives are seen as being determined by these small steps.
The collection encompasses happenings in different places and
times, ranging from early nineteenth century Italy or America to
contemporary accounts either in America or South America. Several
present the many facets of love. In some cases, unusual responses
of a man or a woman are guided by unexpected expressions of love.
For example, a disturbed Viet Nam veteran after witnessing the
birth of a girl becomes a hidden, one-man protection squad while
she is growing up. He saves her from a number of situations
including a kidnapping and possible murder. In another story, a
girl is being trained as a trickster by her grandfather. In trying
to con a young man she falls in love with him. Many other yarns
have different twists and turns. Six are mystery/adventure stories
having surprising denouements.
