Welcome to North Bank: Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781968148850)

North Bank, a small, agriculturally dependent town in West Central Michigan, hums with mystery. A woman discovers a live baby in her barn; a descendent of a prominent North Bank family tries to save the town with a bungee festival; a man who has been pink-slipped from his government job is visited by an apparent scam artist posing as a gypsy; a college-educated man whose construction job put him in a wheelchair must deal with acts of vandalism against his property; a man is woken up beside his girlfriend one night by an embodiment of her past sitting on the edge of their bed. Vibrant and dexterous, Phillip Sterling finds the heartache and humor of a people beset by disadvantage but never short on hope.
