From ice fishing on a couch, to dogs that are angels, to modern-day fertility rites, these cutting-edge stories thrust you into the deep messiness of life and yet somehow leave you feeling hopeful. This description may be from another edition of this product.
Leif Peterson takes the events of everyday life and make us see that they really are special and that we should pay more attention to them. I especially enjoyed the stories "Jesus' Twin" and "Normal Like Us". Read this collection of short stories and you won't be disappointed.
Exceptional!

I loved reading these unusual and surreal tales of this so called "normal" life. Each story disturbingly normal that we see ourselves in life's routine. Yet we are pleasantly surprised by how much magic surrounds us, if only we would pay a little more attention to the details. I loved this set of short stories, except the part of the bunny bashing in Jesus' Twin - that was tragic and a bit twisted - my favorite story was Angels Don't Sleep. I am eagerly waiting for his next novel.
