13 Pieces: Short Stories and Poetry Dawn Labuy-brockett

Short stories include romantic comedy, grandmas with surprising agendas, dealing with an unconventional mother who likes to challenge the system, foiled and successful jailbreak attempts, toys that mysteriously come to life and have to deal with each other and an environment they don't understand, a salmon couple test their relationship in an effort to get to the secret spot in the river to deliver offspring, an employee experiences a disasterous company excursion, and a Romeo and Juliet experience. The poetry includes the dark and tempting environment of Speak Easies from the Prohibition Era, the explosion of the family tree due to car innovations over the years, four friends who complete themselves through their differences, and finding your own way.
