Product Description:
For more than a decade, the literary quarterly Glimmer Train has sought out and championed the most compelling short fiction written today, by both established luminaries and fresh new voices. This stunning new anthology probes the whole range of human relationships -- lovers, friends, family members, spouses, even one's beliefs and dreams.
In "Beneath the Earth of Her," acclaimed writer Karen E. Outen delicately probes the life of a loving, passionate married couple at odds over the prospect of having children. In "Gary Garrison's Wedding Vows," novelist Ron Carlson offers a poignant and delightful tale about a young woman who escapes the rigors of academia and finds love
and purpose at a bird sanctuary in Utah. And in "The Marvelous Yellow Cage," O. Henry Award-winner Charlotte Forbes examines an elderly woman's relationships with her estranged children, her deceased husband, her loyal housekeeper, and a lifetime's accumulation of possessions. Stories by Quinn Dalton, Louise Erdrich, and a host of other writers dig deeply into the joys and sorrows of human connection -- enlarging our perspective and refining the language of the heart. Where Love Is Found is a valentine for literary lovers and a delicious treat for those who crave short fiction by some of today's finest writers.

Really made me think about life. How unpredictable it is, and how much generosity there is inside and out there. Good, good stories.

I am touched by the stories contained in Where Love is Found. It's truly a treasury of very special stories that will remain with me. As the book cover accurately states: It is a valentine for literary lovers and a delicious treat for those who crave short fiction by some of today's finest writers. A very meaningful read indeed.

I love this anthology! From the very personal (and rather unusual) dedication by the editors through to the last page of the last story, the book is filled with characters who summon up the courage and compassion to meaningfully connect. It is clear that even in this often harsh world--and in spite of endless obstacles--our humanity survives. Where Love Is Found is a beauty.
