Description

Two friends are drawn into a mystery of love and murder from a past they cannot know; a boy clumsily carries a broken heart through a day of parades; a woman exacts a daily revenge for a suspected crime from a husband long since gone; and love gleefully appears out of nowhere on a wet afternoon, on Gay Street. Gay Street. In these fourteen stories, a Northern writer documents, teases and exalts the lives walking or pausing on this Southern, and very real, avenue in Knoxville, Tennessee.
