The inner workings of the community knitting group...what may happen if you explore that abandoned house at the edge of town... The unusual weight of a cello case...when the new waitress at the diner causes time to slow down... Humble objects-a shirt, a broom, a painting in an exhibition, the marker on a cat's grave-that change lives... Eighteen talented rural Nova Scotia writers take you to unexpected places and bring you back with your eyes wide and your senses tingling. Stories by Bob Bent, Kathy Brooks, K.R. Byggdin, Angel Flanagan, Rhoda C. Hill, Thibault Jacquot-Paratte, Connie Jodrey, Grace Keating, Kerri Leier, Daniel Lillford, Gary Lovett, Eloise Comeau Murray, Vernon Oickle, P. E. R. Sprague, Gordon Wetmore, James Whidden, Debra Whittall, and David Wiseman.
