A rich cornucopia of Joanne Greenberg's recent shorter prose, including a brilliant futuristic novella and a dozen of her best short stories. The title novella deals with time travel and reliving one's life, the results of which are both moving and tragic. All of the dozen stories are small gems, each very different from the others in subject and setting.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
At least four of these 14 tales--many of which are set in Colorado and infused with magic realism--deserve to be classics. Although Greenberg sometimes overreaches for effect, her best work shows psychological acuity and compassion.

From School Library Journal
YA-- An ideal collection of short stories for adolescents. Greenberg's narrative style is straightforward and fast moving; each selection covers a lot of ground but also has an unusual angle or plot twist. It should come as no surprise that Greenberg, author of that teenage favorite, I Never Promised You a Rose Garden (NAL, 1989), emphasizes psychological motives here. Beginning with the title piece, a sci/fi tale about a woman with a unique double life, the stories take up, one after the other, questions of personal identity and human relationships. YA readers are sure to find this collection easy to read and intensely thought provoking. --Marya Andreen, R. E. Lee High School, Springfield, VA
