Synopsis

In this second collection of stories, Sullivan writes about the human condition as it plays out in the northern California countryside. Her characters encounter disaster and fulfillment, self discovery and delusion, love lost and found, with dogs, horses and the elements coming onstage amid vineyards and hillsides of oak. Tension mounts and roles reverse as a rattlesnake strikes. Freezing temperatures threaten a vineyard and a marriage. A hiker disappears. A pilot’s career is at stake when a man dangles below a hot air balloon. A horse stampedes toward a child testing a father’s love. Always present are the beauty and challenges of country living.
