This collection looks closely at definitions of family and asks how this fragile and frightening entity can shape us, nurture us, or even destroy us. These stories also explore friendship as it is enriched by differences in nationality, race, class, and gender. Whether set in Calcutta, Cornwall, Alberta, Edinburgh, or the Coastal Range of California, each story is imbued with a resonant spirit of place. Light is a presence and metaphor in each of these stories, physical light as well as light ranging through human insight and reflection, as characters face the possibilities of forgiveness, acceptance and reunion.<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<h2>Check for it on:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/gp\/search?tag=lesbianfun-20&amp;index=books&amp;field-title=Valerie Miner, Abundant Light\">Amazon<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/search?q=Abundant Light, Valerie Miner&#038;qid=\">Goodreads<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?tbm=bks&#038;hl=en&#038;q=Valerie Miner, Abundant Light\">Google Books<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<h2>Details<\/h2>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n .TFtable{\n  border-collapse:collapse; <\/p>\n<p> }\n .TFtable td{ \n  spacing:10px; border:#ffffff 5px solid; padding-right:20px<\/p>\n<p> }\n \/*  Define the text for all the 2nd columns  *\/\n .TFtable td:nth-child(2){\n  color: #0099ff;\n }\n<\/style>\n<table class=\"TFtable\">\n<tr>\n<td>ISBN<\/td>\n<td>9780870137198<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Genre<\/td>\n<td>Short Story Collection (Single Author)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publication Date<\/td>\n<td>30-Sep-04<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publisher<\/td>\n<td>Michigan State University Press<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Format<\/td>\n<td>Paperback<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>No. of Pages<\/td>\n<td>191<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Notes<\/td>\n<td>Lambda Literary Award Finalist<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>LoC Classification<\/td>\n<td>PS3563.I4647 .A64 2004<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Language<\/td>\n<td>English<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rating<\/td>\n<td>Good<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Subject<\/td>\n<td>Fiction \/ Fantasy \/ Short Stories; Fiction \/ Short Stories (single Author); Social Science \/ Gender Studies; United States; United States &#8211; Social Life And Customs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>BookID<\/td>\n<td>127<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valerie Miner | Abundant Light | Abundant Light, Valerie Miner&#8217;s fourth collection of short fiction, reveals a master storyteller writing in her prime.
