GODS FOR SALE

UMF Author Patricia O'Donnell: The stories in Gods for Sale are subtle and deep. In just a few strokes, characters spring from the page, vibrantly real and wholly alive in their ambitions and grudges, their passions and yearnings, their failures and dissapointments. The elegant, rhythmic prose beautifully orchestrates the building tensions as these stories unfold in every direction, the characters' histories , choices, and lost love rising to the surface of a current dilemma, forcing each of these varied people to a final realization that feels, in every case, inevitable, surprising, dangerous, and right. Drenched with haunting imagery and unforgettable moments, these supremely accomplished stories peer with exquisite, relentless insight into that human territory which every reader will recognize: the quiet, profoundly bewildering landscape of the heart.
