Book Description

These disparate short stories form a cohesive whole in the lives and tales of a starving artist, a war correspondent, a shelter survivor and other vivid characters.


Their struggles and at times inept counsel lead to a resolve that surpasses the reader with redeemed prophecy like life itself; the examples of the underclass narrate the troubling complexities of class and hypocrisy. With humour and dignity, the lesser self is elevated to a higher truth and a greater communal understanding.

At the age of 52, Maggie Mortimer began her quest for writing. It took three weeks for her first story to emerge, and from there a book ensued. Then another, and yet another. She is working her way from short stories to novels.


Maggie lives in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
