Produktbeschreibung

The thirteen stories in this new collection by Karla Clark feature characters adrift . . . pearls of people facing knotty situations. A father away on a business trip who misses his wife and daughters more than they miss him. A newly married woman whose husband "grandmothers" her to death. A garbage man who refuses to define himself by his occupation. A college student who discovers her own beauty. An elderly woman who hasn't spoken to her best friend in twenty years. A Christmas tree grower searching for his trees. Combining humor with grace, Clark teases out issues of the heart in the everyday lives of everyday people. You'll recognize the characters . . . they are people we all know and love.

Autorenporträt

I have a degree in journalism and have self-published two novels, Between Courses: A Culinary Love Story and Annie's Heaven, as well as a collection of short stories, Knotted Pearls. As the mother of an adult son with autism, I know firsthand the joys and sorrows of living with someone on the spectrum. My story is fiction, but I have peppered it with some of the wonderfully odd idiosyncrasies of my twenty-four year old son. It is my hope that readers will see my story as a tender look at a strong and lively woman fiercely devoted to family.
