Summary: Interesting mix of stories and styles
Review: Well, since this is the first review of a 1996 book, I guess many people haven't read it. :) I initially bought this anthology because of Rebecca Paisley, but found I liked her story the least. Cleopatra's eccentric nature became tiresome after a while. Not my style. However, I enjoyed both Paula Detmer Riggs and Carole Buck very much. Enough to try other work by them. CB's story was very good because the woman wasn't perfect (size 6, etc.) and came to realize her own beauty. I really enjoyed this story the best. PDR's story showed a man's side of pain and how he needed to heal before he could move on with his life. These stories were a nice departure from typical storylines. Overall, I would keep this book because it is different from what I normally read.
