These ten stories have won an array of honors--and whether set in the historical past or in a speculative future, each is wildly imaginative and shockingly real. \u003cbr\u003eIn \"Sagittarius,\" selected for \u003ci\u003eThe Best American Short Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, a mother and father search a dark forest for their missing newborn, who is either a child with profound birth defects or a miraculous creature. In \"False Positive,\" a ghostly girl visits her biological father ten years after being aborted in utero. In \"Bereavement,\" a marriage is falling apart following a child's accidental death, but a combination of myth and technology provides hope for a second life.
