Lines That Do Not Cross: Minnesota Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780999471593)

Lines That Do Not Cross is a collection of James Casper's stories depicting the sometimes painful truth that certain problems people confront in their everyday lives cannot be solved or resolved. This collection asserts that quick fixes, pop psychology, and the support of family and friends will eventually come to the end of a road where lines do not and never will cross. Part tragic, part comic, part depressing, and also inspiring and uplifting, Casper, in these stories, has laid his fingers upon the pulse of the human condition in a world beset by conundrums and weather that cannot be predicted. The reader is invited to enjoy these stories by paging through the collection, considering the titles, and picking and choosing what to read and what not to read at their leisure as all of us alike in our own lives encounter personal lines that do not cross.
