Among the characters you'll find in this collection of twelve stories by Tobias Wolff are a teenage boy who tells morbid lies about his home life, a timid professor who, in the first genuine outburst of her life, pours out her opinions in spite of a protesting audience, a prudish loner who gives an obnoxious hitchhiker a ride, and an elderly couple on a golden anniversary cruise who endure the offensive conviviality of the ship's social director. Fondly yet sharply drawn, Wolff's characters stumble over each other in their baffled yet resolute search for the "right path." By age thirty-three, C. Perry Yeatman had worked in Singapore, Moscow, and London. Today she is a senior vice president and one of the top fifty executives at Kraft Foods, the world's second-largest food and beverage company. She lives with her family in Wilmette, Illinois. Stacie Nevadomski Berdan became a vice president at Burson-Marsteller, the world's leading public relations firm, at age twenty-seven. She later jumped from vice president to global managing director after a three-year stint in Asia. She now lives with her family in Connecticut.
