Reconstruction features nine interconnected stories about a diverse group of people living in Atlanta, Georgia in the early part of the 21st century. These individuals must deal with changes in their lives which cause them to come to terms with their past actions and confront the obstacles before them to rise from the ashes and move forward. The themes of family and reconciliation predominate. Reconstruction features many types of families, those to whom one is born and those one forges in life as circumstances dictate.
The book is targeted toward anyone who enjoys stories featuring strong characters making bold choices about their lives and learning to live with the consequences of those choices. The characters are drawn from a story collection, Fables of the New South, a novel, Rebecca, Too, and a full-length play, Another Mother. Fables of the New South and Reconstruction constitute two volumes in a planned three-volume set of Atlanta Stories. The genre is Southern Neorealism - complex stories told in simple, straight-forward language, with well-defined characters undergoing personal transformation. Reconstruction should appeal to anyone who loves family narratives with a strong sense of community.
