The Struggle for Happiness

the long version

"Ruthann Robson showcases her talent and range in The Struggle for Happiness. Linked thematically, the stories in this collection explore the strivings - for love, for belonging, for home, and for happiness - of her exquisitely drawn characters. Ranging in tone from utopian visions to stark realism and populated by a collection of women - from the guitarist whose supposedly dead lover turns up at one of her concerts, to the professor who has lost her ability to trust in anything; from the psychic at a popular gay resort, to the critic and would-be writer."--BOOK JACKET.
