Product Description
by James Randall O'Brien (Author)
We cannot live by bread alone; we must have stories. Masquerading as windows through which we peek into the lives of others, stories are most often mirrors in which we see ourselves and our world. While being entertained, we are taught how and how not to live. O'Brien's collection in Would Moses Throw a Chair? will resonate with all who are fascinated by the power of stories to connect, reveal, and enchant.
