In Karin Lin-Greenberg's Faulty Predictions, young characters try
to find their way in the world and older characters confront
regrets. In ""Editorial Decisions"", members of the editorial board
of a high school literary magazine are witnesses to an unspeakable
act of violence. Two grandmothers, both immigrants from China,
argue over the value of their treasures at a filming of Antiques
Roadshow in ""Prized Possessions"". In ""A Good Brother"", a sister
forces her brother to accompany her to the Running of the Brides at
Filene's Basement. A city bus driver adopts a pig that has been
brought onto the bus by rowdy college students in ""Designated
Driver"". The stories in Faulty Predictions take place in locales
as diverse as small-town Ohio, the mountains of western North
Carolina, and the plains of Kansas. Lin-Greenberg provides insight
into the human condition over a varied cross section of geography,
age, and culture. Although the characters are often faced with
obstacles and challenges, the stories also capture moments of
optimism and hope.
