  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?

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  Among the canon of American talents few can stand as tall or are as revered as Nathaniel Hawthorne, a true master of prose and purpose.  These stories merely confirm that Hawthorne was a literary phenomenon.

  A new century dawns, one in which America would become pre-eminent as its industrial might and military power rose above all others.  In literature too its authors tackled new forms and new ideas, they shied away from little, immersing themselves and their readers in the promise of a new Century.
