Ambience John Omwake

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.
