Safe World Gone — Patricia Duncker

The moment that changes a life could be strange or ordinary, small or shocking: a tramp at a train station; a red dress in a department store window; visiting an ex-lover; stealing a car; or knocking on the wrong door. In these 28 stories that are by turns funny, touching, and scary, Welsh women authors explore the turning points -- the key decisions, the mistakes, the victories, or perhaps the roads not taken -- that can change a woman's life forever.
