This collection of short stories spans from the early 1900s to the near future. The historical stories take place in America and Europe. From downtrodden miners; a detective hunting Nazis in 1938 USA; war, trouble, and chaos in Europe; political and cultural oppression; and Vietnam vets faced with deadly choices. The present time stories are a murder mystery set at a small lake community; a story of generations in uncertain times; a cautionary tale of searching for ancestors and two stories of workers faced with challenges to their wellbeing. The near future stories are American dystopian tales of what we hope will not be.
