Saying Goodbye - To the People, Places, and Things in Our Lives

Saying Goodbye is a collection of true stories about saying goodbye to the people, places and things in our lives. It's a powerful book that includes sad stories, as well as some very funny ones. Taken together, the stories serve as amazing examples of people saying heartfelt goodbyes with grace, dignity and good humor. These stories show that there is sadness in goodbyes, but there is also irony and humor. It's perfect for book groups that want stimulating conversations about saying goodbye a topic that touches us all in one way or another. Saying Goodbye is the first anthology from book publisher Dream of Things in a new series intended to fill the gap between popular anthologies of stories that are "short and sweet" (sometimes so saccharine-sweet they are hard to swallow) and the Best American Essays series, which are much longer. Dream of Things anthologies are collections of quality stories that average 1,250 words in length. Instead of short and sweet, these stories are short and deep.
