Eleven short stories:

Two little girls, in two different eras, yearning for their parents. A shy girl in a new country. Emerging after the death of a spouse. A short short. Mother and son argue over what is dignity, what value her life. A creepy little short. The bureaucrat and his ever-so-busy day. A party that glitters. A daughter rebels. A mother and her youngest, a conflict without end? Death stalks the homeless, the vulnerable in Toronto's innocent streets.

Bonus: a 1919 story of romance, misunderstanding, and danger.
