  Short Story Press Presents Busy Woman Simplified by Short Story Press with Lindsey Krebs 
  What happens when you are close to reaching your dreams and being successful only to find everything falling down around you instead? Meredith is a mother and wife and dearly loves her family. She also runs her own business, Willow Tree Ranch. She finds that as she tries too hard, things begin to unravel and fall apart. 
  • Meredith is the mom of a seven year old girl, Abigail. 
  • She wants her daughter to have everything that she did not have as a child. 
  • Michael, her husband, is struggling with how Meredith has changed and finds himself avoiding her. 
  • Everyone is stressed out and the busy schedule is taking a toll. 
  • Abigail, Meredith's daughter, has an abundance of activities that doesn't allow her to just be a little girl. 
  • Meredith opens the business of her dreams and finds herself struggling, with hardly a moment to herself. 
  • What should be a happy and good part of their life is a struggle instead. 
  Success can be more than looking a certain way, or paying for, or having certain things. Sometimes people forget what really matters and it takes almost losing it all to remember what is important. Being happy is an important part of life. 
  Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.

  When her iconic novel Baker Towers was published in 2005, it was hailed as a modern classic. Now, in this collection of interconnected short stories, Jennifer Haigh returns to the vividly imagined world of Bakerton, Pennsylvania, a coal-mining town rocked by decades of painful transition. From its heyday during two world wars through its slow decline, Bakerton is a town that refuses to give up gracefully, binding - sometimes cruelly - succeeding generations to the place that made them. A young woman glimpses a world both strange and familiar when she becomes a live-in maid for a Jewish family in New York City. A long-absent brother makes a sudden and tragic homecoming. A solitary middle-aged woman tastes unexpected love when a young man returns to town. With a revolving cast of characters - many familiar to fans of Baker Towers - these stories explore how our roots, the families and places in which we are raised, shape the people we eventually become.

In the stories that follow, Wideman delivers powerful riffs on family and fate, basketball and belief. His mesmerizing prose features guest appearances by cultural luminaries as diverse as the Harlem Globetrotters, Frantz Fanon, Thelonious Monk, and Marilyn Monroe.

  You can take the farm boy out of the rural area and send him to the big city, but  you cannot take the farm out of the boy.  Edna Ferber tells here of the farm boy who grew up into a smart man who moved to the city because farm work was just ridiculously too hard.  But perhaps the city life is not as great as he was led to believe; and perhaps the city job just does not answer some deep need in him to feel the soil in his fingers and to watch things grow.  What will he do?  He knows the pain and uncertainty and misery of farm life so is that even an option for a smart man?   Listen and find out.
