Short Stories by Women for Women about the Imperfect Choices We Make That Lead to Growth
Woven through the serene landscapes of 'Soliloquy' are humor, sarcasm, and innocence. These are tales of the Maiden, Mother, and Crone, with each short story representing a chapter in a woman's life—narrating her thoughts, struggles, and joys.
From sisters dancing at an art festival and searching for the perfect garden bench to the surprising realization of receiving a senior discount for the first time, to navigating the complexities of frenemies who raise children, travel, and grow old together, 'Soliloquy: Beyond Town Limits' goes deeper into the hidden realms of difficult subjects such as child molestation, meth labs, and misunderstood animal hoarding.
As we travel along the backroads o the Midwest, we confront every mother's nightmare of a lost child and explore the aging experience of invisibility, which can often feel like 'fifty shades of ordinary.' A clever and engaging finale awaits the reader, featuring two lesbians and a cat, and a psychic in a redneck town, all of which add unique novelty and sparkle to the journey.

I recommend this book to every lover of short stories, mainly but not exclusively women. Hellman and O’Dell have given us an excellent piece of literature, and I will keep my copy among my favorite books. If you, too, like books where details are as precious as the message, then Soliloquy is the right read for you.
