Diaries is a unique and inspiring collection of ten short stories. The stories are titled with the diarist's first name, and they fall into order by month, moving and changing like the seasons. Written in distinct voices, Diaries is a collection of life, love, laughter, death, innocence and triumph. The stories make up a richly layered tapestry, woven with tales of human strength and tales of human weakness. Each story is an honest portrait and look into the human condition. The diaries are a mixture of heartbreak and wit told through clear and honest voices. At times the stories are raw and visceral and at other times they are lighthearted with comic timing. The first story, "Ruthie" is the journal of a dying woman. Ruthie is a sixty-eight year old housewife, mother, grandmother, and gardener extraordinaire.

The diary of "Claire" will transport the reader to an autumn day that is October lush, bright orange and golden. "Jessie" is the journal of the imper
