The Lifeguard is a powerful collection of ten short stories that shows Mary Morris's great sensitivity to men and women at moments of turbulence, uncertainty, and crisis.
Morris's short story collection combines her consummate craft as a storyteller with her gift for dramatic travel writing. In the title story, a teenage lifeguard sees his mystique among the girls on the beach dissolve in a panicked moment when he cannot save a child. In The Glass-Bottom Boat, a mother on her first trip abroad learns about trust from a solicitous stranger.
