This a collection of short stories. All of them have some element of either fantasy, science fiction or the supernatural. A lot of the stories involve how women deal with adversity. The woman or women may not be the main character(s) but the woman is central to the story.
I can't say that I didn't like any of the stories. I didn't like some of the endings but that was mostly because I wanted the story to keep going.
My favorite stories were "Robert Greenman and the Mermaid" and "Logging Lake". "Robert Greenman and the Mermaid" is about a mermaid who summons fish to feed a shark and a fisherman who is enchanted by her. "Logging Lake" involves a man who has just broken up with his long term girlfriend. He starts dating a woman who takes him out of his comfort zone. One of their early dates is to go on a hiking trip to Glacier National Park. The events of the trip are life changing.
The prose in these stories is excellent. I enjoyed this collection of short stories and would recommend it to anyone who likes short stories or speculative fiction.
