Synopsis

An elderly woman confronts her husband about his unnamed betrayal from years before. On a winter night, a dying singer slips out of the hospital to give his wife an unsettling gift. A violin reveals a family of strangers. These and other stories in "Unexpected Return" tell the silent truths of everyday lives. The ways we're bent by our past that's stalking in the wings. Gabler takes you into the characters and their trials that go beyond themselves: a dilemma or crisis that could be yours or anyone else's, or something that you would never imagine but come to understand. The author has a talent for writing in diverse styles. The results are traditional stories or contemporary ones. Raw reality or nuance. Pathos, humor, mystery, suspense. Gabler's characters stay with you even after the light's turned off.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

I fell under the spell of writing in the fifth grade, at the same time I felt hopeless about fractions. My teacher gave an impromptu writing assignment, and I found myself in the labyrinth of my first story, thrilled with each perfect word and sentence that seemed to shimmer in my invented world. Fractions didn’t matter then. What followed: a passionate English teacher who taught in New York City, a coffee shop waitress who ardently wrote, a risk taker who gathered my savings and went to Europe, in the days when living there was cheap, to write a glorious novel that would move every man and woman. In Zurich, Strasbourg and London, I pounded on my portable typewriter every day (and fed the trashcan nearly everything I wrote). Back in the U.S.A., I earned my Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Illinois, then taught as Assistant Professor at Millikin University in Decatur, Illinois. My stories have been published in literary journals and won finalist awards in national and international story competitions. My work for young adults has appeared in Scholastic and Pearson publications as well as Young Miss magazine. In my collection, "Unexpected Return," there are diverse "voices" and flavors. The styles range from contemporary to traditional. Raw reality or nuanced. There's pathos, mystery, humor, suspense. My stories are waiting for you.
