Effortlessly written and candidly observed, \u003ci\u003eAll Saints\u003c\/i\u003e is a moving collection of tremendous skill, whose intersecting stories illuminate the tenacity and vulnerability of modern-day believers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eAll Saints\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Fictional places have been mostly secular of late: the home, the bar, the workplace. Standing at the centre of K.D. Miller's touching and intimate collection of linked stories is, unfashionably, a church. All Saints is not just the setting for the habits and rituals of this motley group--parishioners, priest, passersby--but the central image that gives these stories their poignancy. As obsolescence threatens the church, it also puts in peril the connections each character has to others at the very time the world so badly needs human connections. \u003ci\u003eAll Saints\u003c\/i\u003e is a moving and soulful book.\"--\u003cb\u003eCaroline Adderson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e K.
