Primary Colors and Other Stories — Barbara Croft

Barbara Croft's stories look at ordinary lives disrupted by extraordinary events: a fallen meteor, dinosaur bones emerging in a corn field, the birth of a two-headed calf. Her finely crafted depictions of setting and character would be sufficient to make Primary Colors an important debut, but Croft's ability to push her fiction--and her readers--to the emotional edge makes this collection nothing less than remarkable.
