This book is a collection of short stories, poems, and personal vignettes
written by The Fifth Avenue Writers a group of six local authors from Pittsburgh.
Initially, Fifth Avenue Writers formed in order to write and hone their craft. They soon found contentment and joy in writing and supporting each other. Along the way, they realized their writings needed to have a home, not be put on the shelf, shoved in a drawer, lost for now, forever.
This collection of writings is meant to share with the reader expressions of some of their intimate thoughts and longings, love and sorrow, humor, wonder, and the paths they have traveled. They are an eclectic group with various life experiences, evidenced by their writings, which are as different as they are. Just peek at the titles in the table of contents.
The collection includes a description of a walk through an English village before Hitler started dropping bombs; finding comfort in the heartfelt moments between grandfather and grandson; experience the heartbreak of a little boy lost; encounter a child's despair when she finds out she is not allowed to play with others; marvel at a world of wonder in Sicily; remember the sorrow of the loss of millions; reminisce with a trip to the local sweet shop; chuckle at an HOA's antics and a nun who manages a bed and breakfast with aplomb; ponder the evil in man, the plight of women, and love that comes to us in many ways; laugh at the message from an irate mother when her son chooses an unsuitable woman as a bride.
All this and so much more.
