Welding with Children

A master storyteller's triumphant, moving collection about lost souls, found love, and rediscovered traditionTim Gautreaux returns to the form that won him his first fans, with tales of family, sin, and from a man who realizes his grandchildren are growing up without any sense of right or wrong, and he's to blame; to a camera repairman who uncovers a young woman's secret in the undeveloped film she brings him; to a one-armed hitch-hiker who changes the life of the man who gives her a ride.Each one a small miracle of storytelling and compassion, these stories are a joyous confirmation of Tim Gautreaux's rare and generous talent.
