Its mid-summer 1948 and passions are rampant amongst heat ridden residents of Baton Rouge Louisiana. Love is in the air, along with the stench of chaos and death. This collection of short stories ties together classic themes of romance, mystery, tragedy, comedy, and science fiction. “No Ma'am" the tragic introductory story, tells of a college student desperate to be liberated from a dead-end stereotypical future. While "A Witness to Nothing" delivers suspense, and a wicked plot, as a murder mystery unfolds. On a lighter note is the well timed comedy "Where You At", outlining the transformation of a late bloomer with self-esteem issues of epic proportions. The love story "I Love You Chicken", is an unconventional snapshot of romance; a steamy portrait of two immigrant lovers taking in the spoils of their new life in the US. “Make it Stop” rounds out the theme based collection with an epic but touching science fiction story about a set of adolescent twins with powers beyond themselves. One by one, reality seem to catch these unforgettable characters off guard. As individual lives transpire, murder and devastation visit some, while others are greeted by births and new beginnings. In the end it's clear that life happens for a reason; there's a force that guides destiny, and this summer was destined.
