Publisher's Synopsis
Fifteen stories that focus on the denizens who live on the shoreline of Lake Michigan. These are no ordinary people. Each of them has a dilemma, a most unusual situation that demands immediate resolution. In some cases, their lives even depend on it. As usual, Timothy Patrick Kirby has taken regular folks and placed them in peril. Why does he do this? There is no easy answer for this, nor are there any easy solutions to the problems the characters face in these stories. It is telling here in this collection of stories how much Kirby has been influenced by the works of his favorite authors, Shirley Jackson and Flannery O'Connor.
