WAR STORIES<\/span>
\n $\"\"$ <\/em>by ELISABETH DOYLE<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

SYNOPSIS:<\/strong><\/div>\n
–We all carry our own battle scars.\u00a0<\/em>
\n–This is the premise of\u00a0War Stories<\/em>, a rich collection of short fiction that draws upon both the literal and figurative meaning of its title.\u00a0 Through a diverse array of characters, settings, and circumstances,\u00a0War Stories<\/em>\u00a0delivers a series of powerful tales from the home front of war: the stories of parents, siblings, and spouses of those who have fought, as well as those who have returned from battle.
\n–Set against the backdrop of contemporary conflicts,\u00a0War Stories<\/em>\u2019 compelling nine narratives tell of a wounded veteran who seeks renewal through an imagined relationship with a neighborhood girl, a grieving father who finds peace and reconciliation at the site of a disastrous bus crash, a young woman who searches for identity and meaning in the wake of her husband\u2019s injury, and an urban teenager engaged in a fateful standoff with local recruiters. Interspersed with these tales are powerful, non-traditional \u201cwar stories\u201d \u2013 of youth, unexpected loss, and heartbreaking love.
\n–War Stories<\/em>\u2019 thoughtful and beautifully crafted tales, which range in style from deceptively simple to rich and complex, tell of people young and old, male and female, who share two things: humanity and resilience. These diverse and deftly written stories are joined through Elisabeth Doyle\u2019s remarkable style and ease in creating a universe full of despair, hope, and dreams. At turns tender and harsh, tragic and yearning, these stories will leave you wanting more.<\/div>\n
