What happens to kites when the children that played with them no longer care? What happens when the spirit that resides in an animal encounters the kindred spirit that lives in some people? And what happens when a difficult decision has to be made? What is it about chokecherry wine, a simple birdfeeder or a red petunia and the old woman who can no longer care for it that they are gathered together in this volume? How does a bully fare when he encounters a mild mannered school teacher? Everyday people walk these pages. Sometimes we meet them through extreme circumstances. At other times it is something as simple as a day's work. Still others bring us to the realization that things just might not be what they seemed. The author has drawn on a rich life in New Mexico and the people he knows so well to set the stage. These stories can be enjoyed by anyone from Junior High to ninety who is interested in New Mexico and recognizes that some things just can't be or don't need to be explained.
