“Girl,”
my mama had said to me the minute she entered my hospital room, “on the
highway of life, you’re always traveling left of center.” (from “Traveling Left of Center”)
What
happens when people face life situations for which they are emotionally
or mentally unprepared? They may choose to allow fate to dictate the
path they take—a decision that can lead to disastrous results.
The
characters in the 18 stories in “Traveling Left of Center and Other
Stories” are unable or unwilling to seize control over their lives,
relying instead on coping methods that range from the passive (“The
Healer”) and the aggressive (“The Clock”) to the humorous (“Traveling
Left of Center”) and hopeful (“Skating on Thin Ice”). But the outcomes
may not be what they anticipated or desired. Will they have time to
correct their course or will they crash?
