That Sadie Thing and other stories

There are eight billion people on Earth. We collide with just a handful of them throughout our lives, by accident or design. Why not take the time meet a few more? A couple break up on a rainy night; a woman finds comfort eating lunch as her best friend lies in hospital; a runaway longs to go home; a teenager finds herself in an unlikely place. Our stories never end, they just lead into the next. This is the updated second edition of That Sadie Thing, packed with award-winning stories from the first decade of the author's career. Praise for the first edition: ¿¿¿¿¿ An amazing collection of short stories that will stick with you long after you've finished reading them - Kazzy ¿¿¿¿¿ The stories left me wondering and musing but also strangely and wonderfully satisfied. Thank you for such a treat! - I Forgive Heathcliff ¿¿¿¿¿ Every story is memorable, and unlike any you've read before. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy this book, but I may just have to read it again. The first time, I gobbled the stories like a bag of chips. Next time, I'll try to slow down and savor. If I can. - Susan Flett Swiderski
