Children of Light

 

Children of Light is a collection of 29 short stories that celebrate the quiet and private, often unnoticed vicissitudes of life, a little treasure trove of suburban America in lush, thoughtful, beautiful prose featuring characters who face life-changing challenges, heartbreaks, and uneasy love.

 

This collection of short stories examines close up and with stark reality the challenges we all face in our complicated modern lives. From the opening story “A Matter of Trust” where a woman meets an itinerate preacher who just might be the devil to “Miracles”, about a devoted parish priest whose heroism costs him everything, and from an American archeologist in Greece who perhaps stumbles onto an ancient spirit in “Blue Monkey Oracle” to an elderly couple facing their mortality in “Orange Juice and Seat Warmers: A Love Story” and a teenage boy traumatized by his mother’s death in “Garrett’s Ghost”, this carefully crafted snatch of tightly-packed stories deals with racism, death, first love, homelessness, gender identity, coming of age, and more issues that contemporary people must face.

Downward Dog

 

Many expressions in yoga and tai chi are associated with animals, but what if those animals started making those movements

Downward Dog was prompted when at an outdoor yoga class in Brooklyn, the yoga instructor's dog began doing the downward dog right next to her. Seemed like a great idea for a children's book. 

You can see yoga-  performing animals in Ed Meek's' delightful Downward Dog.

Falling Womanby Hannah Retallick

 

motionally devastating and sharp as daggers, these thirty-five pieces of flash fiction focus on female experiences.

The book reveals grief, betrayal, fear, and quiet devastation, often carried in silence. Children encounter death and cruelty before they have words for either. Women endure loss, shame, and the gradual erosion of hope. They flee. They grieve. They navigate emotional abuse, broken marriages, and dashed futures.

A journey of catharsis for reader and writer alike, Falling Woman is Hannah Retallick’s second collection.`

fter demonstrating mastery of the highly concentrated form in her first flash fiction collection, Something Very Human, in 2024, Hannah Retallick returns with another, even more sharply focused and skilful volume of very short tales. While still unmistakably set in the same imaginative and affective world, this one is more of a heartbreak album, but one whose songs are about much more than merely doomed romance.
