Sisters Margo and Susie have learned to bury their differences and present a united front to the world. Although the sisters could not be more different, they have willingly come together to fulfill a request-to sit for a portrait for their parents' upcoming fiftieth anniversary. But after they receive tragic news, the sisters' animosity toward one another bubbles to the surface.
In this collection of short, short stories, eclectic characters trace paths through life's mishaps, foibles, and joys. Bud, a firefighter and movie aficionado, is thrilled when Claudette Colbert pays him a visit. Fred, a husband in the midst of a dysfunctional marriage, receives some unsolicited advice from his car. Marylou, a widow who decides to hook up with an old friend, soon discovers that chemistry with another man will be harder to find than she ever imagined. Harold tells his family he has four weeks to live-and then receives a shocking phone call that changes everything.
