." . . there it was. A boulder as big as a Buick . . . I worked
myself up, said the rock didn't belong in our neck of the woods,
that it came from Canada. I told them to think how it was stuck for
maybe a hundred thousand years inside some glacier before it fell
free, only to find itself a thousand miles from home. 'Maybe we
should take it back, ' I said."
Like the Ice-age erratic discovered by this teacher, the
characters in these twelve stories are in the wrong place, either
physically or emotionally. Buried in the wrong grave, born at the
wrong time, stuck working the wrong job, or caught on the wrong
side of the state line, these northern Ohio residents communicate
with animals, have sex in storerooms, believe in the magic of
divining rods, see visions through prison fences, and worry that
life's numbers don't add up. Their stories are the soft drip of
icicles, the flap of wings, the thump, thump of hearts, the sounds
we make when trying to find our way home.
