Susan McCallum's stories present characters caught between the
realities of their everyday worlds and the yearnings for existences
they might have had or might yet have. Desire and disappointment,

the suburban chatter of an American housewife, McCallulm displays
a mastery of syntax and figurative language that will delight her
readers.
