3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Lovely compilation of short stories By Luv2read This wonderfully written compilations of poignant, funny, inspiring, and entertaining stories arrived from the seeds of the ever-changing nature of relationships that rarely last a lifetime. And so it is in the variety of bonding with another, however brief or long, that the stories arise, whether it be a quest for love, a balm for loneliness, escaping from the mundane ennui, or the genuine connecting that transcends situations and moves through the linear clock of our lives, this is the glue that brings these stories together.The story that inspired the title revolves around a plane flight, a noisy child, and a move to a first class seat to sit next to a kind stranger who reminded the author, Christina Hamlett, of a close friend from High School who became a stewardess. The conversation with the stranger continued light and chatty until she mentioned her three roommates who were working Sept. 2001 and never made it home alive. The death of her friends put her on a vowed path of sobriety. When they deplaned at Logan airport it had occurred to the author they didn’t even know each other’s names. The names may be unknown but the memory of that deeply intimate conversation lingers.There were so many wonderful stories, beautifully and well written, too many to recount them all here so I will highlight a few. “Gone The Existence Of Them” by Kelsey Poe poignantly starts out with the narrator, the protagonist of the story; with tears flowing as she mentioned she didn’t get “to have his babies.” People were waiting to offer condolences and it’s clear something horrible had happened to our protagonist’s significant other and sure enough as we read on we learn that her young husband died and she’s only 27 years old. The pain bleeds from the page as we see the dreams the couple had together turn to ash. The tenderness is enhanced when the story ends and there’s a footnote that the author, Kesley Poe, lost her husband in 2013. The devastating silence between those last few words guaranteed this story will not be forgotten any time soon.I loved “Love Me Do” by Tracy Falenwolfe and how it started. 1964 and the Beatles were coming to play at the 4-H Club in the author’s tiny hometown but instead of it being Paul, John, George, and Ringo the band was her father and three of his friends wearing wigs. The laughter in me slowed when I read that the band broke up when they got drafted. Growing up in a closed family, closed in the sense of not communicating about emotional or any deep issues, Falenwolfe tried to understand the situation and the question of her existence. As the author became a parent and reflected back the situation with her father she contemplated maybe he gave all he could, working two jobs and when not at work doing more work around the house. An understanding was forming and around that time there was a sweet gesture to photograph the five grandchildren and give it to her father, but he died before receiving it. He died of a sudden heart attack at 59 years old while shoveling snow. Reflections come when we lose a parent and in the case with Falenwolfe it surprised me to read, “I wish we hadn’t been so much alike.” What wasn’t a surprise was the wish that one of them broke down and communicated to the other; to verify the bond and love that exists between a parent and their child.Then there was the sweet story of a young teenage girl meeting a stranger on a bus ride, Strangers on a Midnight Bus by Charlotte Nystrom that rang close to home: The allure, sensual and emotional, of a stranger and the lingering memory of him years later. Lovely story.Story after story, I’m left contemplating the human condition. All the what ifs and should have done and feel extremely grateful I’m alive and right now have he opportunity to say something I feel must be said, hug someone important, keep quiet when it will serve well, and let my heart stay open through pain and joy for therein the human condition shines and grows.When the last page of this wonderful book was shut, I sat and reflected back on the richness of the relationships and their stories told, that for a brief moment I got to be a fly on the wall to something deeply intimate. The writing excels throughout these moving stories and I’m truly grateful I happened upon and read this book.

When you need to take a break, and center yourself on what really matters By Jill Anne Gambaro It's been a while since I've read a collection of short stories and I found the format really suits my lifestyle right now. Whenever I needed a break, I could open the pages and lose myself for a few minutes. That they were gathered around a theme made me want to come back to it again and again. The stories themselves made me think of those brief encounters, sometimes for a few years, sometimes for a few minutes, which stayed with me long after the other person left. From the stewardess with a drinking problem, to the soldier with a simple question, to the woman who regrets, all three my favorites, the collection shows you just how important we all are in each other's lives. There's a broad range of stories in the book, and I admit to being less interested in the “one that got away” versions than in those fleeting moments where some stranger looks at you and says something that stops your heart in its tracks and sends you in a completely different direction. Still, there's a wide variety here, something that's sure to appeal to everyone. It made me want to write a few of my own which, to me, is the very best gift from a book.
