Description

From one of our most accomplished short story writers, "Drunk with Love" is a deeply compelling collection full of laughter and tears, pathos and tender humor. In these thirteen stories we come to know some of Ellen Gilchrist's most memorable characters: Rhoda Manning, a precocious annd impetuous nine-year-old, confronts an adult world she doesn't yet understand in "1941"; the outrageous southern belle Crystal Weiss quits drinking while her devoted maid and confidante, Traceleen, records the riotous tale in "Traceleen at Dawn"; Nora Jane Whittington, the onetime bandit, is now an expectant mother of twins in the title story. With resilience and passion, Gilchrist's stories explore coming of age, heartbreak, curiosity, and more. - from Amzon
