Overview

From Lingering Dreams to Final Reflections-Stories that Explore the Questions, Struggles, and Quiet Truths of Life Lived. Life in Stories is a sweeping collection of fiction, lyrics, and novel excerpts that traces the arc of life-moving through youth and age, humor and tragedy, love and loss. From the beaches of Rio to the soccer fields of New Jersey, from the grit and grime of 1990s Los Angeles to raucous high school gymnasiums, dank no-name hotel rooms, and a fading sunset of the American West. Through athletes, lovers, schemers, dreamers and survivors, these stories move across time and place, following ordinary people at moments of longing, contemplation, misdeeds, and grace that change them forever. Each piece is introduced by the author with a personal reflection on its inspiration, meaning, and place in his own life, offering readers rare insight into both the story and the storyteller.
