My mind started racing. We had never really planned to live
together; we hadn't planned on living apart, either. After she
moved in with me, it was easier to get more involved than it was to
cause a scene and split up What we had certainly wasn't the
spiritual love of Shakespeare's sonnets, but it was certainly a
comfort born of affection and habit The tales and vignettes found
in Little Stories were first penned by author Jeff Roberts during
his undergraduate years at the University of Iowa, where he tried
to balance school with the full-time task of being a writer.
Whether he's writing about the end of a love relationship or the
pain in dealing with the loss of a beloved pet, Roberts' quietly
moving stories are packed with real emotion and rich detail.
Little Stories takes a critical look at the inevitable moments of
betrayal and loneliness in our awkward quest to love and be loved,
but the reader will discover the value - and even joy - to be had
by looking backward and facing the past. This brilliant collection
of tales should not be missed.
"The hallmark of Roberts' collection is his strong writing. He
captures scenes with expertise, and his characters come to life
through the dialogue. The author's stories are moving,
light-hearted when appropriate, and explicitly human. In its best
moments the powerful stories quickly become page turners once you
get into the text."
