This is my 2nd Becky Birtha collection of short stories ... and although it might be hard to believe ... it is better than the first!! I have read the last selection *In The Life* outloud to ten other women and each one has become a Birtha fan. BB has the gift of telling our heart's stories in her short pictures ... she paints with a brillant brush! My favorite tells us of women having grown old and deep in their love ... so deep that when one of them dies, the other still speaks, shares and cares with her love and sees thru the eyes of that love -- Gracie & Pearl are precious. In the Deep Heart's Core tells the story of reaching a hand from one generation to another, while Past Halfway begins in the pain of breakup but leads us thru the need to let go, seek your own answers, find your own way, make connections. These are glorious gifts BB hands to us. Find it, read it, share it
