Linda Lanterman's Mindsight Stories represent an astonishing array of tales, something for everyone. Written among and between her novels, these stories range from short to novella-length, from a thought for the day to questions of our times. As a writer, deep-sea fisherman, teacher and public servant over the years, Linda Lanterman writes to change the world, not excape it. In "Boxes in the Attic" Lanterman reminds us to examine our presumptions no matter how fondly we hold them. Several stories remind us life is short, but beautiful. "The Ritual" shows us the experiences of two friends that intertwine on the page as they did in life. Lanterman also makes room for fantasy. And, she includes practical political advice, whether one is an adult or six years old. Pick up this book. Choose a story. Start anywhere. Enjoy.
