Until We Are Strong Together Book

The stories ranged from 3.6ish stars to five, so I averaged that out to a four star rating. Interestingly, I think some of the stories may suffer from the context. In other words, had I read them individually, when they appeared in their respective literary journal, I might have thought they were five star pieces, but when housed with other outstanding work, my brain pulled the inevitable compare/contrast trigger.

Que sera, sera.

In the end, this book only increased my already immense respect for short story writers. Many people can tell a breathtaking story in 250 pages, but how impressive to tell one in 25!
