During the summer before his final year at Columbia University, Sam Steele was lucky enough to have gotten stoned, which nearly caused him to jump to his death off of a desert cliff. He did not jump. But he did shatter. Psychologically broken, Sam does his best to put himself back together. While his brother flirts with domestic life-wife, children, and a job-Sam's relationship with his girlfriend ends, he is involved in a sex-scandal with a crazy professor/poet, he ditches old 'friends' for actual ones, performs at a concert, gaining rock-star status on campus. But will this be enough? And can Sam find that in life which will bring him happiness?

This short story collection is a mongrel. The six stories were written by three authors who do not have a proper writing 'pedigree,' but who love and are devoted to writing in various forms including prose, poetry, and musical lyrics. There were no Master of Fine Arts degrees or literary agents involved in the creation of this book. The authors are not famous and a team of shrewd business people have not decided that this is the collection of words that will make the most money. These half-wild and fully unheeded stories are meant for anyone. Treat and consider them like a mutt from a pound, like the one on the cover of this book, who just might have something to offer that a purebred never could. Maybe you will find a story in this book that won't let go of you, and that you will be glad to have with you.
