About this ebook
In "A Cathedral Half in Gray," the ghost of a church and its new residents create an eerie home that never should have been. Millers and goblins follow the spectral white tracks of a burro train into a remote river valley in "The Red Kite." A humble tire repairman and his wife want children too much, with disastrous consequences, in "The Flat." The bloody Mexican Revolution casts its long shadow over a New Mexican grandmother and her doting granddaughter in the delightfully named "Dancing Is to Walking as Singing Is to Talking."
"Middle Class" asks the pointed question: What do people think they are, and how do they go about making themselves what they need to be? Of Lou Becton, a boat-loving central fixture of these stories, Dona Eulalia says, "We can all see it clearly. How else would he do it? Senor Becton is middle-class."

"[Baker] Morrow's prose is spare, elliptical, lyrical. . . . His writing sweeps you up and carries you away to another place, another time."--Bonnie Lee Black, author ofSomewhere Child
