A Gossamer Cord: A Medley of Short StoriesLove is a gossamer cord that links humanity and inspires us to care for each other and for the animals entrusted to us. It's fragile but if true may be stretched to the limit and become frayed but won't break. Ordinary people sometimes live through extraordinary events that change their lives. A Gossamer Cord isn't about caricatures or superhumans but persons who are simply trying to live and love, be happy and be loved. |
