Fiction
In “As Time Goes By” a young woman named Futila Ways grows
up focusing her dream of a better future on material wealth,
only to discover that having everything she ever wanted
cannot compensate for the emptiness in her heart. “The Eye
of the Beholder” recounts the story of an unattractive young
girl, Lily Bea, whose search for love leads her to embrace
her own brand of freedom. And in “Catch a Falling Heart” a
woman mildly crippled in a fall endures loneliness and
solitude until she finds a man and provides a resting place
for his love. Each story beautifully conveys the profound
human need to seek some sort of satisfaction, just as a wild
star seeks a midnight sun. J. California Cooper’s insights into the hearts and souls of
ordinary people and her irresistible storytelling voice have
endeared her to fans and critics. As Ms. magazine wrote,
“Cooper’s stories beckon. It is as if she is patting the
seat next to us, enticing us to come sit and listen.”
