Time Enough for Sadness

Every village is a stage; every villager has their role to play. In his second collection of short fiction, John P. Asling's insightful portraits capture the daily dramas of a wide-ranging cast in a London village. Each story is distinct though threads re-appear throughout as the well-drawn characters grapple with ordinary life's extraordinary questions.
Will Grace step out from her comfortable pew?
Can Benjamin follow the path of peace activist Fulton?
How will Portia write the story of her life?
Might Franny's brush with greatness set her heart on fire?
Can Faith overcome her paralyzing grief?
