Editorial Reviews

Cyntillation was once Ms. Gregory's username and it fits: her short stories shimmer with lights and shadows, tiny wisdoms, and immense vision. She knows how to irradiate a sentence, flash a fresh metaphor. These eleven tales are must-own little masterworks!

Cynthia Gregory's stories are original and perfectly expressed. Her command of the language is dazzling. These short stories are filled with insight and intelligence. She has the ability to reveal the intricacy of her characters in a few focused details. I was so engrossed in this collection that I couldn't put the book down. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to read about a modern American woman navigating work, relationships, and family with wit, pathos, and humor.
