Reviews for Small Worlds: Adopted Sons, Pet Piranhas, and Other Mortal Concerns
Robert Klose can certainly write - but more than that, he can see the world as a place where we get second chances, where we savor small things, where we reach out to each other with warmth, wit, and grace. These essays will touch and nourish any reader. - Mary Gardner, author of Salvation Run and Boat People
