The assignment was simple: submit a short story dealing with change. The results were astonishing, engaging, and incredibly varied. The stories complied in this volume range from taut action drama, to stealthy intrigue, to entralling spirituality, to tangled relationships, to timeless love renewed -- or lost, to angelic second chances. No two of the tales are remotely similar, and yet they are linked in remarkable ways. Each story is tied to all the others in the anthology with two exquisite threads. The first constant theme is redemption; in each case there is a transformation, often painful, that brings new beginnings, new possibilities and revitalized life. The second theme is love -- timeless and true -- expressed in a multitude of ways, but unfailing in bringing hope and newness. Change in the Wind is an extraordinary colletion of marvelous stories from gifted, eclectic writers who draw us into their worlds and leave us wanting more. -- publisher
