"In this book," Mark Allan Powell says, "I offer the world the best that I can do: often humorous but sometimes poignant stories to engage the heart, soul, and mind." Here readers will meet a man who has fallen in love seven times, but never fallen out; a teacher whose devotion to children has (so far) distracted her from a guilty past and a present loneliness; a troubled soul who finds meaning in life by recounting tales of Greek mythology to Girl Scouts and vagrants; a retired priest who is (literally) haunted by memories of a girl he once loved. The stories differ wildly in mood and genre: they may be raucous, sentimental, sexy, or spooky--but they are all entertaining. Powell says, "Perhaps you'll laugh; perhaps you'll cry; perhaps you'll think (but not too hard--that would not be the point). Enjoy!"
