Synopsis

The novella Starlight describes the search by a spoiled twenty-something-year-old pop star who, after an exhausting tour, wakes up in the middle of the night with an overpowering need to find his unknown birth parents. Then comes the story of a Black corporate lawyer assigned to represent a white racist career criminal accused of shooting a man in a drug dispute. And there's the elderly Mississippi blues singer who has a way of dealing with adoring fans who, in his mind, waste his time. And there's the photographer who has a book signing and finds that in his audience is a lover from fifty years ago. Then there's the ninety-five-year-old woman being driven by her grandson from her nursing home to rural Elmore County where she was raised during the Great Depression. And there are the two Birmingham lawyers conniving to get control of a hit record made by a carpenter they know. Then there's the White society matron who gets stuck late one night in an elevator with a Black ex-felon maintenance man. Then come the four elderly men who sit together each Saturday afternoon on a bench in front of a feed store in a small south Alabama town and watch the world pass by. The final story is of a man who takes a walk down a dark farm road and has a terrifying experience with five visitors from a faraway place.
