Ambience

A motley group of people are thrown together on a foggy day. Two longtime friends make a startling discovery. A woman's plan to free a prisoner with whom she has become infatuated goes awry. An elderly widower decides to climb his favorite mountain one last time. These are a few of the stories--some selected from the author's previous collections, the others new--that are told in this book. Sometimes comic, sometimes tragic, but always engaging, together they offer a varied and insightful look at lives both now and during the recent past.JOHN OMWAKE is also the author of THE EDUCATION OF NEELY ROSE WALLER, LIMESTONE COUNTY and RANKIN CREEK.
