Summary:

"There are unseen forces in our lives that shape who we are and what we become. How we respond to those forces determines our futures. The stories in A Feast of Brief Hopes, examine how characters respond to the unexpected. What happens when a writer goes for a police background check only to discover that he shares the exact moment and place of his birth with a violent offender? What happens when a person undergoes a powerful religious transformation in mid-life and must walk inside himself for his first confession? Do we carry our memories of the beautiful moments of life with us into death? And, ultimately, what do we value in life that defines us -- from a hat to the shadow of a figure in a window who reminds us of what we have lost or need to hold onto?"-- Provided by publisher.
