Tim Weed has done it again. The shorts are masterful and show his skill with page turning powerful prose. Everything from hardened family, backwards friendships, and realistic human interactions. It was a perfect beach read and is a modern take on teachable short stories. Highly recommend for everyone to read!

Reading this wonderful book made me wish that I was a student in Tim Weed's classes--I want to absorb some of his mastery of language. Tim is able to easily transport the reader into other places and times, whether it's a granite quarry in New Hampshire or the cobblestones of my favorite city, Rome. His stories are filled with deep human connections, love, friendship and family, that touch both the heart and mind with memory and imagination. He makes the unfamiliar accessible and I could easily envision the scenes in Cuba, Colorado or Spain despite having never been to those locations. Tim masterfully transcends cultures to show the human emotions that live within us all. I highly recommend this stellar collection of stories.
