This entertaining and emotionally compelling anthology features the best of author/journalist Jennifer Lafferty's short fiction, from new works like the tender and profound coming-of-age novella Juliet & Mr. Rossini to popular magazine pieces such as the farcical Unlikely Friends and Periwinkle 26. This collection is a mix of meaningful prose, romantic comedy and plenty of satire, with some stories containing all of these elements, most notably: Overseas Adoption, Juliet & Mr. Rossini, Unlikely Friends, and Make Believe. Also included are poignant dramedy A Familiar Place and wryly humorous The Séance.
