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".
