"Offers acute portraits of lives in transition: of changes for the better, lives stalled and in freefall; of love, loss, and sudden revelations. Two second-year students fall in love then almost talk themselves out of it in an argument about the end of the world; a fugitive's diary records desperate action taken by a young woman in her struggle towards a new life in Russia; four semi-naked teenagers scare themselves witless when they trespass on an intimate tableau; a trapped squirrel performs a vanishing act in a tale about tyranny and the hardening off of young plants."--Publisher description.
