About the Book

The revelations of a holocaust survivor, a suburban housewife’s infatuation with her art teacher, a mother’s angst at witnessing her son’s independence, a series of phone conversations that reveal the essence of friendship. Culled from their collected manuscripts over the last fifteen years, the Elkins Park Writers reveal their world in all its pain, ambiguity, beauty and humor through short stories, poetry and memoir. Wondering what it was like to grow up in post-war Brooklyn? Curious about how sisters cope with divorced parents? Ready to experience the back story of a night at the symphony? Read on.
