Synopsis

The stories in this collection are stories of ordinary people who sometimes do extraordinary things. There is the paraplegic who quietly inspires everyone she meets. Here we find a young Swedish woman of the nineteenth century who wins her love by fooling a patriarchal father. A young actress holds an audience spellbound then disappears. Will she return? An imperious woman, the scourge of her village, has an incredible past. These stories illuminate a landscape that is rich proud and almost unfailingly generous.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Forrest Johnson was born in Chicago, Illinois. He has served as a pastor of churches in the Middle West, New England and Texas. He began writing poetry , essays and stories while in the Navy during World War II. In addition to his work in the church, he has been an actor, television and radio commentator, and a practicing politician. The stories in this collection have been called Chekhovian by some readers as they seek to probe the heights and depths of human experience, as seen through the eyes of a journeyman parson. The renowned religious psychologist Anton Boisen suggested that Johnson write about the people he encountered in his work as a pastor: unlike doctors, who often write about the lives of patients, pastors seldom venture into the realm of the short story and the novel. Mr. Johnson works and writes on a small ranch in western New Mexico.
