Borderlines: A Collection of Short Stories
By
Dorian, a high school robotics student in Milwaukee, flees the threat of death from a fellow passenger on a night bus.
Ed, a Manhattan cardiologist, trembles on the edge between self-destruction and redemption as he learns to live with his wife’s unexpected death.
Ten-year-old Sondra travels across Florida in a desperate search for love and acceptance.
Borderlines: A Collection of Short Stories explores the fragile edges of human existence as characters encounter obstacles to their dreams, their emotional healing, their relationships, and, sometimes, their lives. The obstacles are other people, or the surrounding circumstances, or themselves.
This collection is a compilation of eight stories–quick reminders of the delicate liens of our lives–suitable for sporadic reading. Some stories will surprise and scare, others will shock or make you weep, but all leave you thinking about your own life in large and small ways, forcing you to consider the elements that make your life significant and those you find important.
