Publisher Description

The extraordinary debut short story collection from the award-winning author of Family and Life is Short But Wide.

"In its strong folk flavor, Cooper's work reminds us of Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston ... It is a delight to read." —Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author

"The label 'short' story is a woefully inadequate description of these intensely, explicitly moral tales. 'Parable' is more appropriate. Cooper's stories are rich in wisdom and insight." —Belles Lettres

Great read

Loved every story and have read her other works as well. Love how she doesn't complicate her writing, she is plain spoken and still the imagery comes alive. Pick up her other short stories as well!
