A great find at a library sale, this book contains some widely read classic short stories: The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, The River by Flannery O'Connor, The Cave by James Michener, and my *favorite*: My Sister's Marriage by Cynthia Marshall Rich. If you happen upon this collection it's worth the read. Great in a waiting room, or when you can't sit down for an extended reading time, this short story anthology is great. Not too large either, my copy fits in my purse!
