Synopsis

A brilliant collection of “nineteen new and sixty-four previously published stories from one of America’s masters of the form” (Largehearted Boy).   In this volume, readers will be drawn into Herd’s fertile literary cornucopia as his vivid prose captures the imagination. Written with brevity and stark economy of language, these short vignettes are a sampling of the American landscape as seen through the eyes of characters from the proud and stoic to the broken and tragic.   From high school love notes to a drug runner’s day; from a boy’s first fistfight to the unexpected aftermath of a woman’s first experience of marijuana, Herd’s stories travel the backroads, sending postcards of life as it is lived and providing “a fine overview to the work of a writer whose work eludes easy description, but remains ahead of its time” (Minneapolis Star-Tribune).

    Prudence Merriweather loves animal prints, hot pink high heels, and bigger-than-life hair. She also loves Carney, the bear of man to whom her heart belongs.  
    She’s just not a hundred percent sure that he knows it. Or that he really wants it, at least if they’re talking forever and ever. They’ve been together for so long now, however, and Pru is no longer clear on the status of their status quo. 
    When Carney shows up with his own matters of the heart, Prudence is stunned by the storm clouds gathering on the horizon. Can she open her eyes enough to look around and see the beauty that is part of everything, even an uncertain future?

    On the Laws (Latin: De Legibus) was written shortly after Cicero's "On the Commonwealth" during the last years of the Roman Republic. The three surviving books (out of an original six), in order, expound on Cicero's beliefs in Natural Law, recast the religious laws of Rome (in reality a rollback to the religious laws under the king Numa Pompilius) and finally talk of his proposed reforms to the Roman Constitution. (Summary Adapted from Wikipedia)
