About the Book

Merrill Joan Gerber holds the record of having sold more short stories to "Redbook" magazine than any other writer. This selection of twenty-five linked tales, published in "Redbook" from 1964 to 1991, chronicles the passionate, domestic adventures of Janet, Danny, and their three daughters.

About the Author :
Merrill Joan Gerber is a prize-winning novelist and short story writer. Among her novels are "The Kingdom of Brooklyn," winner of the Ribalow Award from Hadassah Magazine for "the best English-language book of fiction on a Jewish theme," "Anna in the Afterlife," chosen by the "Los Angeles Times" as a "Best Novel of 2002" and "King of the World," which won the Pushcart Editors' Book Award. She has written five volumes of short stories. Her stories and essays have appeared in "The New Yorker," "The Atlantic," "Mademoiselle," "The Sewanee Review," "The Virginia Review," "Commentary," "Salmagundi," "The American Scholar," "The Southwest Review," and elsewhere. Her story, "I Don't Believe This," won an O. Henry Prize. "This is a Voice From Your Past" was included in "The Best American Mystery Stories." Her non-fiction books include a travel memoir, "Botticelli Blue Skies: An American in Florence"; a book of personal essays, "Gut Feelings: A Writer's Truths and Minute Inventions"; and "Old Mother, Little Cat: a Writer's Reflections on her Kitten, her Aged Mother . . . and Life." Gerber earned her BA in English from the University of Florida, her MA in English from Brandeis University, and was awarded a Wallace Stegner Fiction Fellowship to Stanford University. She presently teaches fiction writing at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California.

Review :
"Gerber's stories have a synergistic advantage; they mean more gathered together than any of them would have alone. The collection is worthwhile because it is so unusual--because it allows the reader to see both how the characters and their creator have grown over time. It's rare that we get to see so lasting, and focused, a relationship." --"Los Angeles Times"
