These stories, running the gamut of human relationships, the colorful panorama of Texas settings, and a bountiful catalog of unique characters, are evaluated and interpreted by women who each has her own special connection with the state and her own private ringside seat for viewing the tragicomedy we call human experience. Topics, all written by women, include place affecting attitude, feisty women challenging traditional roles, masculine points of view, the sensibilities of children, the gap in understanding between grandparent and grandchild, the tenuous nature of ties between men and women, the ambivalence of family relationships, and contemporary preoccupations of women.
