The combined stories from the short collections Monday is Winter and Other Stories and Home Is What You Make It. Ten stories that look at what makes a home, and places far from home, and whoever or whatever you may meet there. A house haunted by a woman whose work is never done. A man in search of work, and the bowling ball that urges him onward. Leslie got roped into cleaning up the old parish house, and there's someone else there who's not there to help.
Someone had hidden a body in the freezer, and it's Orlando and Amanda's job to sort it out. A king, who'd rather play with babies and puppies than fight wars. A prison camp escape attempt and the brave children who make it. Eric is lost in the desert, with one last match to his name. Who will get to him first, the coyotes or the mountain lions?A woman who is just trying to do her work, but family troubles and politics make that harder than it needs to be.
A chance meeting at a coffee house, and the conversations that ensue. A tornado has just ripped through his neighborhood and it's up to Xhavean to get the survivors he finds to safety.
