This anthology of previously unpublished short stories, written over a period of approximately thirty years, explores the complex relationships between spouses, lovers, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons. The ensemble is a richly painted portrait of women’s lives from young adulthood to middle age, and of the need for reinvention as they seek to transcend the limitations of the self-assigned role of housewife and mother. In the title story, a photo in a bar window carries a young woman back in time to her first love affair and her first year after college, spent on her own in bohemian Greenwich Village. In these stories we find people discovering who they are, through the lens of their relationships with those they love.
