Women Who Live in Coffee Shops and Other Short Stories (2010) By Stella Pope Duarte


This fun little book is a collection of short stories authored by Stella Pope Duarte.  It’s an anthology of the lives of the forgotten souls who live in the poorest neighborhoods of major cities, in this case Phoenix, Arizona.  None of the works are more than a dozen or so pages long, they make excellent character studies.  And do not mistake poor for uninteresting, these are real flesh and blood people with stories worth knowing.  My favorite is Mismatched Julian.
