  Give Us This Day

  Terence Young

  This striking collection of short fiction moves from the intimate to the expansive, from the meditative to the urgent, following characters – such as retired grandparents thrust into child care, teachers trying to connect with their students, and couples at a crossroads – whose missteps and circumstances shape them and show the fragility of human relationships.
