Short Stories by Janet Mills
An unexpected friendship
with an elderly man teaches a middle-aged woman a
simple philosophy for living. When Veronica
Reynolds meets Jesse Bodine in a retirement home
shortly before Christmas, she merely plans to drop
off the gifts he requested and perhaps spend an
hour in his company. Instead, the bond their
encounter creates becomes a prize they both
treasure.
Following her husband's
death, Janie Raycraft's life has become a daily
routine of rising early to catch the weather
forecast, going to work, then returning home to an
empty house to eat and watch TV alone. When an
aggressive dog and a strange man begin to stalk her
every move, she longs to return to her quiet
existence, even if it means someone has to die to
accomplish it.
Alicia Cortez lives with
three men who watch over her like brothers. If he
can safely navigate the gauntlet of questions Ali's
friends and family inflict on every potential
boyfriend, Trey Whitlock just might have a chance
to win her heart.
Dust
and sparks fly when a lonely woman meets a charming
Scotsman in the confines of a stagecoach crossing
the West in 1861.
