Unbecoming

<p>We are the stuff of stories. Often stories foreshadow an unbecoming a kind of unravelling of who we thought we were so steadfast in our loyalties to family and friends.</p><p>First up a young child who isn't all she appears to be most unbecoming to the young wife desperate for a child of her own. We also have a distraught husband searching for his wife who makes the dubious decision to stop at a roadside diner. Ignorance foreshadows his unbecoming. Two of eighteen tales in UNBECOMING: Selected short stories.</p><p>Some of the stories were previously published others are new. Each takes a kernel of truth and bends it in some way with the hope for a better outcome a way to beat the odds. Which brings us to the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson: The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be. If only it were that simple.</p>
