Mrs. Darcy And The Blue-Eyed Stranger

Praised for their unfailing ability to capture the defining moments of our lives, here are fourteen funny, poignant, and page-turning stories. There are marriages, those on the rocks and those that are rock solid. There are worrisome kids, like lonely, brilliant, invisible little Jeffrey, who's suddenly inspired to be a stand-up comic. There are incorrigible dogs, like Bob, who is banished from obedience school. And there are feisty women, like Alice Scully, who is banished from her writing group, the Happy Memories Club, for writing a memoir that is decidedly not happy.
Shining through them all is Smith's intuitive grasp of how we come to know ourselves over time, and the surprising revelation that we all at some point, in a Lee Smith story.
