Synopsis

There is real diversity in the short stories that make up the Webley .45 collection. We watch a young man, who was sexually abused as a boy, dream of killing his assailant. We hear the confession of a black man who has “passed” as white for much of his life, and we watch a gay man struggle to be honest with his partner, his father, and himself. On the lighter side, there are endings that surprise us and the chronicle of a practical joker. Most importantly, these diverse tales are brought to life by unique and credible characters. They will touch you and you will root for them, despite their flaws and foibles. You may even find that one or two of them "will drift like phantom companions along the edges of your mind” — to borrow a phrase from the author — long after you meet them in this captivating book.
